- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Humanitarian Assistance for Household Flooding: Discussion (13 Jan 2016)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: I got that wrong because on page 2 of the submission Ms Faughnan states: “A reduced level of support can be provided in cases where such families have income over €70,000.” Maybe Ms Faughnan said something else earlier.

Marie Louise O'Donnell: It states:For example, a family consisting of a couple and two children with a gross household income of €70,000 or less will receive 100% of the amount allowable in respect of their application. A reduced level of support can be provided in cases where such families have income more than €70,000. That is the only reason I asked the question. I do not know where the tapering...

- Seanad: Order of Business (19 Jan 2016)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: On Friday night I had the privilege of being invited by the Lions Club to its annual dinner for the homeless which, quite rightly in view of what people died for there, was held in the GPO. I was there with Alice Leahy of Trust. I want to repeat something I said here three and a half to four years ago. When I left the GPO at approximately 9.30 p.m. and walked through O'Connell Street, it...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Quality of Teaching in Higher Education: Discussion (20 Jan 2016)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: I thank the Chairman. I have been a member of the committee for three or four years and this has been one of the most provocative half hours I have experienced in a long time. I do not know where to start. This matter is close to my heart because I have spent a great deal of my life as a teacher at third level. I was considered a pariah at one point. I recall a director of education in...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Quality of Teaching in Higher Education: Discussion (20 Jan 2016)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: We will continue, because some of them are very good and will have their own questions. We do not track students regarding the quality of teaching they receive. One way to discover whether they are well taught is to ask them whether they were well taught, and in what way were they well taught - not who taught well or who taught badly, but how did the fact of being well taught find its...
