- Seanad: Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006: Second Stage (Resumed). (8 Mar 2006)
Mary Henry: It is a very serious issue but I ask Senator Bannon to resume his seat. I have asked Senator Leyden not to continue with what he was saying because there are other methods of raising this matter and he has agreed to that. Therefore, I ask Senator Bannon to resume his seat.

- Seanad: Use of Irish Airports: Motion. (8 Mar 2006)
Mary Henry: I thank Senator Quinn for sharing time with me. Like the Senator I too would consider myself a friend of the American people and like him I was there a few months ago and was staggered â one does not get this impression from the American television media â at how many people are so alarmed by the situation into which they have got regarding Guantanamo Bay, regarding the possibility of...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Mar 2006)
Mary Henry: I support Senator Quinn's call for a debate on water quality. While people tend to concentrate on the private schemes, the water supplies of quite large towns are shut down on a monthly basis. I think of Ennis, Mullingar and Naas in the recent past. This is a serious issue, as there has been contamination by everything from cryptosporidium to diesel oil, which does not happen in other...
- Seanad: Lourdes Hospital Inquiry: Statements. (9 Mar 2006)
Mary Henry: As Senators can imagine, it is difficult for me as a member of the medical profession not to hang my head in shame, having read this report and listened to the contributions of Senators Feeney and Terry, as I speak in front of some of those who have been so grievously injured by a member of my own profession. No adequate reason can be given for the behaviour of Dr. Michael Neary. This has...
- Seanad: Lourdes Hospital Inquiry: Statements. (9 Mar 2006)
Mary Henry: Our knowledge of the hierarchical structures which were in place does not make the whole procedure any less inexplicable. It is most unfortunate that those who inspected Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital were Dr. Neary's peers. Ireland is a very small country with a small number of obstetricians. That there were under 100 obstetricians in the country at that time meant that such people were...
- Seanad: Lourdes Hospital Inquiry: Statements. (9 Mar 2006)
Mary Henry: I knew some of the Medical Missionaries of Mary quite well because they used to accompany me to meetings in London and elsewhere. They were kind and good women who were very determined in their religious beliefs. The mixture of religious beliefs and human reproduction can sometimes lead to serious situations which are perhaps not to the advantage of patients, who may not share such religious...

- Seanad: Social Welfare Law Reform and Pensions Bill 2006: Second Stage. (21 Mar 2006)
Mary Henry: I welcome the Minister to the House and I also welcome his contribution. I congratulate him on the energy and imagination he put into his job. The Department of Social and Family Affairs is one of the most agreeable with which to deal. I warmly welcome the changes the Minister is proposing in this legislation. The issue of lone parents in poverty is a difficult one. I am president of One...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (22 Mar 2006)
Mary Henry: I support Senator O'Toole's call for a debate on road freight policy. The firm to which he referred is based in the city centre, right beside the railway, but feels it necessary to send an enormous number of trucks onto our roads. We are all aware of the serious accidents in which they have recently been involved in Dublin city. I also ask the Leader if we can pursue as soon as possible the...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (22 Mar 2006)
