Mary Lou McDonald: Safe Ireland has now published its national statistics on domestic violence for 2010. I am sure the Tánaiste has seen them and is shocked by them. On more than 3,000 occasions, women and children could not be accommodated in refuges. Terrified woman and children were turned away, with the numbers representing a 38% increase on the 2009 figure. The programme for Government makes a...

Mary Lou McDonald: I do not accept Deputy Stagg's point of order. A promise has been made in respect of legislation in this area.

In fact, the Tánaiste stands in this House this morning and waxes lyrical about...

Mary Lou McDonald: Can the Tánaiste tell me also what of the promises made by his party to the electorate only a few short months ago that his party is opposed to short-term privatisation? Has he had a road to Damascus experience hand in hand with his boss, the Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny?
- Leaders' Questions (29 Sep 2011)
Mary Lou McDonald: The Tánaiste knows as well as I do that the total portfolio approach can and should be taken with those companies still in full public ownership. He knows well that the moment shareholder interests enter the equation in the semi-States, they will trump the public interest. I imagine that is why his party's manifesto stated categorically that the party was against short-term privatisation,...
