Marie Louise O'Donnell: I would like to recommend a book to Mr. Fiztsimons which he will find very interesting, Technopolyby Neil Postman. He should have a read of it; it is the direct opposite to what he said. He is equally as convincing as the author and what he does is extraordinary.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Intreo: Discussion (28 Jan 2015)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: In the context of mapping the journey for people who are short-term unemployed, the whole problem - if one actually exists - seems to come down to communication.

I would like the Minister, Deputy Alan Kelly, to come here and tell the House when he intends to do that. The second question is for the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Brendan Howlin. I was one of the lone speakers who opposed the sale of the national lottery. When is the lottery regulator...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: National Strategy and Framework for Higher Education: Higher Education Authority (4 Feb 2015)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: I do not know where to start. I will ask one general question to Mr. Boland. Does he believe there would be a place to write a national strategy for higher education about teaching at third level? Based on my reading of the National Strategy for Higher Education to 2030, we seem to have this fear to align it independently to what it is. It is consistently aligned to research. Of course,...
