- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)
Mary Lou McDonald: Thank you, a Cheann Comhairle. The Government’s strategy has been to buy off one half of the population with its €100 water conservation grant - wink, wink - and then intimidate the other half with a threat of attachment orders, court proceedings and sticking its hands into their pensions, welfare and wages. Newsflash for the Taoiseach: none of that has worked.

Mary Lou McDonald: Up to 57% of those due to pay have not paid and will not pay. More of them cannot pay.
- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)
Mary Lou McDonald: It is time for the Taoiseach to have a moment of clarity, even vision, and see the wood from the trees. He must understand that this charge is going nowhere. In the public interest, what the Taoiseach needs to do is to scrap it, not to make smart or condescending comments about my mathematics. His own mathematics are not too hot. Those with great mathematical skills are lone parents, however.

- Order of Business (15 Jul 2015)
Mary Lou McDonald: Not agreed. I oppose the guillotine of all Stages of the Petroleum (Exploration and Extraction) Safety Bill 2015. This Bill transposes EU Directive 2013/30/EU which was published as far back as June 2013 yet, two years later, the Government is only now putting forward the legislation to deal with it. It is very worrying that it has taken so long for the Government to implement a directive...

Mary Lou McDonald: Why did the Government not do this more quickly?
- Order of Business (15 Jul 2015)
Mary Lou McDonald: The Taoiseach refers to slippage in transposition after a delay of two years.
- Northern Ireland: Statements (15 Jul 2015)
Mary Lou McDonald: I join colleagues in welcoming the fact that we have passed an all-party motion which unequivocally and strongly states our support for the Ballymurphy families. A very clear demand has now been made on the British system to establish an appropriate investigation. We do not want to hear from Theresa Villiers, David Cameron or anybody else the reasons that, in their rather odd views, this...
- Northern Ireland: Statements (15 Jul 2015)
Mary Lou McDonald: I wish to make a final point.

There is a challenge for Unionism to examine that squarely. There is no doubt there is a challenge for all of us to...
