Marie Louise O'Donnell: I do not know where to start. It is like sitting in the city of the disavowed. I will start with Mr. O'Connor. He is interesting and is a good spokesman for his organisation. I taught in his organisation for 30 years. I am a great believer in young minds, how they articulate where they want to go and how they can bring cities with them. Well done to him. Mr. O'Connor made a good point...

His submission mentioned the issue of medical cards for people with terminal illnesses and limited...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: End-of-Life Care: Discussion (24 Oct 2013)

Will he talk a little more about that? He said the cost was €74 million and €60 million was raised...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: First, I congratulate the Taoiseach on his political and personal integrity, as witnessed throughout the entire referendum process. I include the Leader of the House in the congratulations. I use the word "integrity" wisely because it is difficult to take a difficult position. It is also difficult to hold on to a difficult position, especially on the abolition of this House. I knew when...

- Seanad: Seanad Reform: Statements (23 Oct 2013)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: -----or did we just get across the line? We need to ask ourselves that question. The people decided and they are sacrosanct. It does not take, however, from the integrity of the Taoiseach in the way he handled defeat, nor does it take from the reason he put the question to the people in the first place, which is what he said he would do.
