Marie Moloney: I welcome the ladies. I know Ms Ní Mhainín but I have not met Ms Ní Chartúir before. I also welcome the Department officials. Well over a year ago we attended a public meeting in Dingle and a big crowd came out that night to support the retention of the Gaelscoileanna. I got a quick lesson that night on the difference between Gaelscoileanna and Gaeltacht schools...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Pupil-Teacher Ratio in Gaeltacht Schools: Discussion (29 May 2013)

Marie Moloney: How do I follow that contribution? I could not speak for that length of time as Béarla nó as Gaeilge. I have an observation and a question. Is this open to legal challenge by people living in the Gaeltacht? Is it their constitutional right, having been born in a Gaeltacht area to Gaeltacht parents who speak Irish, to be taught through the medium of Irish? I ask the question...

Seanad: Early Child Care Education Standards: Statements (30 May 2013)

Marie Moloney: I will not go over what everyone has said. The image we saw in the "Prime Time" programme of children being flipped and flung onto the floor will stick in the minds of everyone and particularly in the minds of parents with children in crèches.

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Jun 2013)

Marie Moloney: Senator MacSharry should show some respect. He refers to people showing respect. He should show respect to the Chair.

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Jun 2013)

Marie Moloney: The Senator referred to how long he has been a Member of the House. I would have thought that by now he would be aware of the need to show respect to the Chair. Senator MacSharry has not shown respect to the Chair and he should not, therefore, speak about the need to show respect.

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Jun 2013)

Marie Moloney: I wish to add my sympathies to those already offered to the family of the late Senator Tom Fitzgerald. I take this opportunity to condemn the State Examinations Commission for its shoddy work in respect of this year's examinations. It should never have allowed incorrect questions to be included on examination papers and must be called to account. I request that the Minister for Education...

Seanad: Youth Unemployment: Motion (12 Jun 2013)

Marie Moloney: I welcome the Minister of State to the House and the opportunity to speak on the EU guarantee.
