Marie Moloney: From the beginning I was one of the biggest critics of SUSI. Everything was going wrong; documents were constantly being lost and everything was topsy-turvy.

In the event of a student’s mother...

Seanad: Redress for Women Resident in Certain Institutions Bill 2014: Committee Stage (4 Mar 2015)

Marie Moloney: From my inquiries, I have found that the HAA card for hepatitis C sufferers is limited to the reimbursement list except for a very limited number of drugs which are specific to hepatitis C.

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Mar 2015)

Marie Moloney: I add my voice to those who have welcomed the announcement by the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Jan O'Sullivan, yesterday on people with Down's syndrome. That is something I never agreed with from the very beginning and many of my colleagues felt the same. We always felt what happened was unjust and wrong.
