- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Apr 2022)
Mary Lou McDonald: The Minister for Health and the Secretary General of the Department of Health, Mr. Robert Watt, have both refused - refused - to attend the Oireachtas committee on finance.

I have in my hand a copy of the latest letter from...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Apr 2022)
Mary Lou McDonald: I want to raise a very serious matter that has been raised by Deputy Catherine Murphy. It concerns the facts that the finance committee wrote to Mr. Robert Watt, Secretary General of the Department of Health, that it has actively sought information pertaining to the proposed secondment of Dr. Tony Holohan to Trinity College Dublin and that it has sought all the information pertaining to the...

Mary Lou McDonald: This makes a mockery of the business we do.

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Apr 2022)
Mary Lou McDonald: Do not attribute falsehoods to me by advancing a falsehood of your own. The cost of home heating oil has more than doubled in the past year and the Government has done nothing to intervene. In fact, its proposed course of action will drive the cost of home heating oil up further.
