- Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Offices (13 Jul 2021)
Mary Lou McDonald: Notwithstanding the parliamentary liaison unit and the work that is done by the three staff the Taoiseach identified, the level of confusion and disorganisation within his Administration is remarkable.

Mary Lou McDonald: This morning it is being reported that the Cabinet could not agree the summer economic statement yesterday, due to disagreements in government about funding for housing in advance of budget 2022.
