- Independent Planning Regulator: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (13 May 2015)
Mary Mitchell O'Connor: This is the first Government to have taken any real steps towards reforming our planning system so that it is fair, fit for purpose and, most importantly, serves the common good of the people. Previous governments were happy to let their planning system be dominated by endless greed and, on occasion, the power of what lay within an alluring brown envelope. The Mahon tribunal lasted 15 years...

Mary Mitchell O'Connor: I thank Mr. Quinn for his report. I want to ask Mr. Quinn a straight question: is a woman who goes into Portlaoise hospital tonight to have a baby safe and will her baby be safe? He stated that the "volume of critical care activity within the intensive care unit of the hospital" is low and that staff "who do not have the opportunity to treat sufficient numbers of patients or carry out a...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: HIQA Investigation into Midland Regional Hospital, Portlaoise: Health Information and Quality Authority (13 May 2015)
Mary Mitchell O'Connor: If a woman ends up in the intensive care unit of the hospital tonight, will she be looked after? Will she be treated in it or moved on within the recommended time limit?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: HIQA Investigation into Midland Regional Hospital, Portlaoise: Health Information and Quality Authority (13 May 2015)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Health Issues: Department of Health and Health Service Executive (14 May 2015)
Mary Mitchell O'Connor: I want to pick up on what Deputy Ciara Conway said about speech and language therapy. I have asked on a number of occasions over the years for the Minister for Health to look at this and deliver a service through our national primary school network. What is happening is that parents get appointments which they cancel or fail to turn up for and the child may not be seen again for six months....

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: HIQA Investigation into Midland Regional Hospital, Portlaoise (Resumed): Parents and Patient Advocates (19 May 2015)
Mary Mitchell O'Connor: I thank the parents so much for coming. We have had different groups here, but this is probably the most harrowing day we have had. It has been mentioned that a hospital should be a safe place and I understand it should be safe. At the same time, there is human error and things happen that should not. I get the feeling that none of the delegates wanted to blame anyone in particular on the...

Mary Mitchell O'Connor: This morning we heard harrowing reports from the parents of Mary Kate and Mark. They were upset, staff were upset and so were members. I thank Dr. Crowley for apologising. Has Mr. O'Brien apologised to the parents for what has happened? I may have missed it. Dr. O'Reilly has reported that things are improving and new systems have been set up. Can I have a watertight guarantee that what...
