Seanad: Order of Business (20 Feb 2014)

Marie Moloney: Point taken but it was an issue I raised here before. We discussed it at length and there was cross-party support.

I hope we will now move forward on this issue. Yesterday, the House had a good debate on A Vision for...

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Feb 2014)

Marie Moloney: I support what is a very reasonable request from Senator Darragh O'Brien to impress upon the Minister the need for drugs to treat people suffering from multiple sclerosis. If somebody gets cancer or has a heart condition, we all sit up and take notice but in most cases people can be cured or get better. There is no cure for this neurological disease and this is a debilitating condition from...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Pensions Reform: Discussion (5 Mar 2014)

However, we are still paying a lot of money in pensions to people living in other countries.

If they work here for five years and then go to work in England, the US or another...
