- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: World Prematurity Day 2012: Discussion with Irish Premature Babies Organisation (22 Nov 2012)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: World Prematurity Day 2012: Discussion with Irish Premature Babies Organisation (22 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: At least that is consistent with the Government response.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: World Prematurity Day 2012: Discussion with Irish Premature Babies Organisation (22 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: I was simply making the point that in light of the expertise available to us today, we might as well ask Dr. Murphy some questions about his opinion on the matter.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Youth Issues: Discussion with Comhairle na nÓg (22 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the delegates for taking the time to attend this meeting and talk to members. I commend the excellent presentation. I congratulate Mr. Maguire on the app, which I will download as soon as the Chairman allows me to turn on my phone in a few minutes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Youth Issues: Discussion with Comhairle na nÓg (22 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: The app is an excellent idea. I have a question about the stigmatisation associated with mental health issues. Do young people shy away from other young people with mental health issues? If somebody has a mental health issue, do people say, "Oh my God, we don't hang around with that person" or "That person has something wrong with them"? It seems to be a significant problem in this...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Youth Issues: Discussion with Comhairle na nÓg (22 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: On the Internet generally, including Ask.fm and other chat fora, is anonymity important? Should people have to use their names?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Youth Issues: Discussion with Comhairle na nÓg (22 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: Would it be better if we all had to use our names?
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: I ask the Leader for a debate on Cabinet accountability to Parliament. For some time those of us in this House have understood the contempt with which the Seanad and its contribution are held by the Government but I raise the orchestrated leaking of this expert report, effectively by the Cabinet because it was provided by the experts to the Cabinet. I do not know what it contains. I have...
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: That is not acceptable.
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: As I said to the Leader several weeks ago when this "special" comment was first made, special does not pay the mortgage for those in arrears. Special does not change the colostomy bag for the person whose home help hours have been cut.
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Nov 2012)
Marc MacSharry: When will the dictatorship which the Government has become take steps to put the people first rather than tell them we are special and using the media to do its dirty work and leak whatever reports it finds too difficult to discuss in public?
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Dec 2012)
Marc MacSharry: As the Leader will be aware, over the weekend there were quite a number of reports through the print and broadcast media with regard to commentary that has been associated with the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Quinn, particularly his view expressed at a private meeting of the Labour Parliamentary Party that the Minister for Health, Deputy Reilly, was, it seems, "not up to the...
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Dec 2012)
Marc MacSharry: I assure the Cathaoirleach it is quite relevant. The Minister is quoted as having said: "I'm not going to confirm or deny or in any way change my comment that I've made repeatedly about Dr. Jim Reilly." In the first instance, we would like to see the Minister, Deputy Quinn, come to the House at the earliest possible date. One cannot be criticised for wondering about the kettle calling the...
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Dec 2012)
Marc MacSharry: The Senator should talk to her own colleagues.
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Dec 2012)

- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Dec 2012)
Marc MacSharry: Some ¤370 million. That is great reform.
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Dec 2012)
Marc MacSharry: SUSI is great. It cannot even tell who has been paid yet.
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Dec 2012)
Marc MacSharry: Is the Senator looking for a debate on the issue?
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Dec 2012)
Marc MacSharry: I am sure we will have a special debate about that.
