- EU Summits (18 Oct 2011)
Mary Lou McDonald: I notice references in the declaration to the human rights situation in Belarus, the deteriorating position on media freedom and the call for the immediate release and rehabilitation of political prisoners. Why did the declaration make no mention of the human rights situation in Ukraine? As the Taoiseach is aware, the former Prime Minister was recently convicted and sentenced to seven years...
- European Council Meetings (18 Oct 2011)
Mary Lou McDonald: The Taoiseach is being disingenuous because he knows full well the point made is that the issue of debt restructuring and write-down in respect of Greece has been conceded. In light of this how is it the Taoiseach does not pursue the matter of private bank debt and the huge burden it is inflicting on citizens? People have always paid their way and I and others do not appreciate the...

Information has come into the public domain about a further 35 deaths of children in care since March 2010. There were 22 deaths last year and another 13 this year. These children, who were in the care of the State, died from a range of causes, including suicide, drug overdose and medical issues....
- Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2011)
Mary Lou McDonald: I am sure everybody in the House and beyond shares the Taoiseach's expression of sympathy to the families of the children involved. I have to say, however, that expressions of sympathy are not enough. It is not obvious why the State cannot guarantee the security and safety of children in its care. The Taoiseach has established the Department of Children and Youth Affairs and expressed his...
