- Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Maternity Services (19 Feb 2014)
Marc MacSharry: I would like you to direct the Minister to answer the question. I do not need a lecture from the Minister on why the people voted the way they did. I know, pal, and you know.

Marc MacSharry: So says the king.
- Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Maternity Services (19 Feb 2014)
Marc MacSharry: The Minister has confirmed that there is a draft report. He has not confirmed the terms of reference. If it is as benign as he claims, why not publish the terms of reference that were given to the Health Partnership group to put the minds of those people at ease, and publish the preliminary report as well? The people of Ireland can then get a taste of what their future holds in respect of...
- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2014)
Marc MacSharry: I agree with my colleague, Senator Darragh O'Brien, and others to an extent about the code of conduct on mortgage arrears applying to the loan books that will be sold. However, I have a concern, which I have mentioned on many occasions here, that the code of conduct is not worth the paper it is written on. In practice, organisations, particularly those that are withdrawing from the Irish...

Marc MacSharry: -----and let them at it. As my colleague Senator Darragh O'Brien correctly pointed out, if we are prepared to do the deal at a knock-down price for some unknown vulture fund in Invercockaleekie, why can we not do the same for the borrowers themselves? Why can we not offer them 50% write-downs and keep them in their homes or family farms where they belong rather than throwing them to the...
- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2014)
Marc MacSharry: It sounds like something that should be going on over in the other House, given the debate to do with whistleblowers-----

Marc MacSharry: The Senator should not be using a script now.
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Mar 2014)
Marc MacSharry: I second Senator O'Sullivan's amendment. Senator Coghlan's celebratory tone must be an overhang from the Ard-Fheis at the weekend, when he could not contain himself for the debate this evening, to which we all look forward.
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Mar 2014)
Marc MacSharry: I must say the Senator read it well and delivered it well, whoever gave it to him.
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Mar 2014)
Marc MacSharry: In spite of the celebratory tones in the House about the Government's performance, outside the House farmers were protesting at the price of beef and other issues. This is a very worrying aspect, because the Government consistently stands by as the multiples dictate, in the interests of their own bottom line, the return of the people who reap the bounty of the land in all our interests....

- Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (4 Mar 2014)
Marc MacSharry: I join others in paying tribute to Martin J., an exceptional politician. While I did not have the opportunity to serve with him in the Houses I certainly would not have been here without his advice, support and blatant canvassing on my behalf in 2002 to ensure that I got across the line, for which I will be eternally grateful to him. Senator Norris touched on what he was also for me and that...
