Marie Louise O'Donnell: I thank the three groups for attending the meeting. I said to them earlier that their contributions were alarming but very informative. I echo the Chairman's comments to the effect that all the "technopoly" in the world will not save us. We need certain savings but it will not save the relationships being spoken about this morning in banks, between people, in men's sheds, meals on wheels...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Ms Nicola Sturgeon (29 Nov 2016)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: The Scottish First Minister is most welcome. It is even more glorious that the Scottish First Minister is a woman. I want to ask her a very practical question. When will she make the decision to ask the Scottish people to vote again on Scottish independence? We can be as independent as we like in our minds, but we must be practical about it because the British people voted to leave the...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: This particular individual was ignored by his bank, our banks, the regulator and political parties. People can say it is in the past but it is not, and it will not be in the past for 40 years. It is certainly not in my past because it brought a decrease in my salary and pension in the form of the universal social charge which is applied to everything we earn. Therefore, it is not in our...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: -----to the Seanad.Since the man could not speak at the meetings on the banking crisis and he has not spoken in the Dáil, I would like to bring him in here because I want to ask him a lot of questions.

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Dec 2016)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I ask the Leader to invite the gentleman, who I am not allowed name but everybody knows because they have heard him on radio and television, to attend the Seanad in early January.

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Dec 2016)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: Yes. I request that the gentleman be invited to attend the Seanad and I have let all of the Senators know.

Marie Louise O'Donnell: If I were allowed to ask the Senators to vote on the matter, I am sure they would vote with me. Since I am not, I wish to announce that I will ask CPP to invite the gentleman.

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Dec 2016)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I thank the Cathaoirleach. Members of CPP are sitting here listening to me so at least I have started an argument on the matter.

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I thank the Chairman. I was going to allow Senator Ó Clochartaigh speak before I did as he is from the area and I am very new to it, although being new to it, in the sense of not having the privilege to live in that part of the world, can be an advantage. My questions are innocent, but they might be chaotic as well, although they might be interesting. Perhaps Senator Ó...
