Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Sep 2019)

Mary Lou McDonald: The farmers who continue to protest and picket outside meat processing factories are fighting for their livelihoods and for the future of the family farm. The Taoiseach's words will offer them little hope and comfort. In the midst of the figures that he rattled off, he did not mention, even though he should have, that many beef farmers made less than €10,000 per year. Despite doing...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Sep 2019)

Mary Lou McDonald: It is more than that.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Sep 2019)

Mary Lou McDonald: That is a very disappointing response. It matters not a whit whether Deputy Micheál Martin, the Taoiseach or anyone else in the House endorses this agreement if it is not sellable and does not work for the farmers who are out on the picket lines. That is what matters. I am disappointed that the Taoiseach would try to use this issue to provoke a party-political fracas. It is not...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Sep 2019)

Mary Lou McDonald: I too commend the women and men of Dublin for an extraordinary eight in a row in total - a eight in a row aggregate is wonderful - and Tipp, of course, for the hurling victory.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Sep 2019)

Mary Lou McDonald: I am sure they did. The Taoiseach says the Department will publish the report of the Commissioner for Data Protection on the public services card. The commissioner has found that important aspects of the card are unlawful. I do not think many of us were very surprised by that. I refer to the unlawful retention of the personal data of millions of citizens as well as the Government's...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (17 Sep 2019)

Mary Lou McDonald: I want to return to the issue of the open letter of the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, which was issued on social media and addressed to farmers at picket lines across the country. I do not believe the Minister's intervention was helpful. It does not represent the kind of leadership required at this very sensitive point in this dispute. Those who are on the picket lines are...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cyber Security Policy (17 Sep 2019)

Mary Lou McDonald: In a submission to the Committee on Justice and Equality this month, Women's Aid again highlighted the absence of specific cyberharassment or cyberstalking legislation. As the Taoiseach knows, various avenues of criminal and civil law can be used to a limited degree, but they fall well short of what is needed to deal with cyberharassment. Women's Aid suggests that a specific...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Policy Reviews (17 Sep 2019)

Mary Lou McDonald: Briefly, two very important matters of communication now pertain to Brexit. The first is to make it absolutely clear to the British Government that the backstop is the bottom line that is not negotiable. Second, contrary to the position adopted by Deputy Micheál Martin, and it ought to be remembered that Fianna Fáil in the early days of Brexit passed a proposal at its Ard-Fheis...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Policy Reviews (17 Sep 2019)

Mary Lou McDonald: -----which was an incredibly daft and dangerous proposition. The Deputy persists in advising the Taoiseach to think out loud about customs and checks and where they should be located. Can I offer the Taoiseach absolutely contrary advice? I believe that is dangerous.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Policy Reviews (17 Sep 2019)

Mary Lou McDonald: We have agreed on a collective position that there can be no hardening of the Border and no damage to the Good Friday Agreement. I advise the Taoiseach that as the clock ticks down and the pressure mounts, and as Boris Johnson and the British system are desperately fishing for an out, this is not the moment for the Head of Government in this State to think out loud or to make any proposition...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Policy Reviews (17 Sep 2019)

Mary Lou McDonald: Counselling the Taoiseach in the way Deputy Martin has done is enormously dangerous. The message to Boris Johnson, the Tories and the British state needs to be much more clear-cut.
