- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Apr 2025)
Mary Lou McDonald: The Government built fewer houses last year than the year before, and the indications are that it will fail to meet targets again this year and build less. The evidence is there for all to see in growing costs and in the levels of homelessness. All the evidence and data are there. More importantly, the reality is lived every day, so the Taoiseach can stand up and spoof and shout at me and...

Mary Lou McDonald: We have had the most expensive bike shed in the world, the €1 million security hut and the €9 million on phone pouches so people already know that the Taoiseach's Government is a serial waster of public money but this one really takes the biscuit. It has actually gone to the trouble of making up a job with a salary of €430,000 simply to give the appearance of Government...

Mary Lou McDonald: The outrageous salary the Taoiseach proposes to pay his new housing tsar is €430,000. It is nearly half a million euro - an astonishing amount of taxpayers' money for the salary of just one person. It is more than the Taoiseach's very generous salary. It is even more than the President of the United States is paid. It is equivalent to the starting salary of 11 new nurses, 11 new...
- Tariffs: Statements (9 Apr 2025)
Mary Lou McDonald: As has been said, nobody wins in a trade war but we know who loses the most.

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Apr 2025)
Mary Lou McDonald: Why is the Government instead offering treatments that the experts have told it will fall short and will fail? I appeal to the Taoiseach to listen to the voice of this young woman and those of the other women whose lives have been devastated by the failure to provide them with the care they need here in Ireland.
