- Seanad: Establishment of Joint Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Motion (14 May 2014)
Susan O'Keeffe: Of all the people in this House, I certainly know about being called in front of an inquiry and I certainly know how difficult it is to get any inquiry to be right and proper and to be fully transparent. To be fully anything is simply not possible. Anyway, here we are. We have a duty as public representatives to carry out the inquiry. It has the teeth given to it by the people of the...

- Seanad: Order of Business (15 May 2014)
Susan O'Keeffe: I welcome the decision made by the Joint Committee on Health and Children to visit the centre which deals with medical cards this morning.

- Seanad: Maternity Services: Motion (28 May 2014)
Susan O'Keeffe: There is no doubt this is a very serious matter. We are all agreed that improving maternity services for women in this country and for the birth of children is a key issue and there should be no disagreement about this. I welcome the fact there is a review of national maternity services. It would be a nonsense to review one part and not the other. We live on a small island and are all...
