- Seanad: Order of Business (30 Jun 2010)
Mary White: I have already asked the Leader for an urgent debate on the impact of alcohol on young people. I refer to a document sent to me by Mr. James Doorley of the National Youth Council of Ireland, Get 'em Young: Mapping young people's exposure to alcohol marketing in Ireland. Young people's drinking of alcohol is a serious issue in this country. The figures produced in the research show that up...

- Seanad: Road Traffic Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2010)
Mary White: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. I remember speaking approximately two years ago on the previous Bill on the issue of mandatory testing. The PARC Road Safety Group submission to Senators called for an amendment to the Bill on mandatory testing at injury collision scenes. Research published in 2009 carried out by Dr. Declan Bedford showed that 92% of surviving drivers involved in fatal...

On behalf of the Irish Exporters Association I urge him to put in place a new international trade and investment...
- Seanad: Innovation and Job Creation: Statements (22 Jun 2010)
Mary White: Along with Connie Doody I set up Lir Chocolates, a company which now employs 200 people. For 16 years, I worked on a 24-seven basis. Unless a company achieves sales, it will go out of business. Small and medium sized Irish companies need urgent assistance if they are to begin to export. They need stimulus measures that can be implemented immediately. The drive to develop the smart...

Mary White: Irish food and drink companies need to move away from being middle men or suppliers to focus on branding our own products. An interesting article in the farming supplement to today's Irish Independent reports: UCD's associate professor of public health, Paddy Wall, said Irish dairy products needed to be differentiated on a global level. "All milk is not equal and it does not have the same...

Mary White: There is no reason why we cannot come up with new products through intensive research and development. Lir Chocolates, of which I am still a board member, has to develop 30 new products annually to hold and grow our market position. We are in an ideal situation because we know there will be major increases in the demand for food. I concur with the Minister of State's endorsement of...
