Mary White: I do not understand why planners have such a lack of vision for serving the needs of people who need petrol to fill their cars. There are 1 million more cars in Ireland now than ten years ago. How in God's name will we get petrol for them? Planners should not allow change of use from petrol to development. They have to look after the service and infrastructural needs of the people. It is...

- Seanad: Ageing and Ageism (22 Feb 2007)
Mary White: I thank the Cathaoirleach for facilitating this debate because it is a most important issue. As a politician, I am on a mission on two issues: child care and ageing and ageism. I am inundated with requests from people who do not want to retire at the age of 65. That age limit was introduced when life expectancy was not much higher than that. People in the private and public sectors must...
- Seanad: Control of Exports Bill 2007: Second Stage (22 Feb 2007)
Mary White: I compliment the Minister on his first-class speech. It was eloquent, wide-ranging and interesting. The culture and drive of the Irish people was never to go abroad and behave tyrannically in other countries. We have never been marauders or colonisers.

Mary White: In researching my document, A new approach to Aging and Ageism, much to my horror I discovered that the life expectancy of Irish people was not as high as for many of our OECD colleagues, such as those in France, Spain or Germany. I shall focus on the need for a proper health promotion campaign for older people in Ireland. An adequate health care service is good. If we can prolong people's...

Mary White: I remind everyone in the House that 1 million people watched the match between France and Ireland. This was the highest recorded number of people watching a television programme and came about because the match was held in Croke Park. Senator à Murchú should be free to give his opinion, whether it is politically correct or not.
- Seanad: Order of Business (20 Feb 2007)
Mary White: It takes more courage not to be politically correct in this building.
