Ceisteanna - Questions: Northern Ireland (5 Jul 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: I will begin by thanking the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Teachta Coveney, and the team of Government officials who participated in all of the discussions at Stormont Castle.

Leader's Questions (11 Jul 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: I have raised the chaos within the health service with the Taoiseach many times. This chaos has human consequences. This afternoon I want to put one name and one face to some of these consequences. Earlier I informed the Taoiseach's office that I wanted to raise with him the case of Olivia Harte. Olivia is 41 years of age and from County Leitrim. She is the mother of two young children,...

Leader's Questions (11 Jul 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: I can tell the Taoiseach why Olivia is still in one of only three intensive care unit beds in Cavan General Hospital. She is there unnecessarily and is aware of that. She is very distressed by it. The reason she is there is that the HSE, despite the medical advice and view that she ought to go home, refuses to fund the home care package. I beg to differ with the Taoiseach. It is...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (11 Jul 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: The Taoiseach raised some legitimate concerns around the Jobstown trial in a fair and forthright manner. Will he set out for us how this matter should be resolved? What manner of investigation or review is required to establish whether, deliberately or otherwise, there was a misrepresentation of the facts to a court of law by members of An Garda Síochána? This is an incredibly...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (11 Jul 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: The Taoiseach might take the opportunity when he gets to his feet to answer my question about the Minister, Deputy Regina Doherty, her communications with An Garda Síochána and its subsequent actions regarding the individual whom I mentioned. The Taoiseach is familiar with the matter, given that he has answered questions on it in the public domain. Will he make a fuller statement,...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (11 Jul 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: We are here to hold the Taoiseach to account and I want him to answer the question. The Taoiseach's travel plans will be largely, if not exclusively, focused on the fact that the Brexit negotiations are officially under way. The British paper on the rights of EU citizens that was submitted several weeks ago fell spectacularly short of what might have been expected or required. We have...
