- Seanad: West Link Toll Bridge: Motion. (23 Mar 2005)
Mary White: That is not true. The problem is that people get into the wrong queue.
- Seanad: West Link Toll Bridge: Motion. (23 Mar 2005)
Mary White: It is quite possible.
- Seanad: West Link Toll Bridge: Motion. (23 Mar 2005)
Mary White: For 14 years when I worked on the East Wall Road I used the East Link Bridge as many as four times per day and found it to be tremendously efficient. I used the M50 five or six times per week for my business in Dublin Airport and I welcome this discussion as a supporter of the motorway. The M50 is value for money and I am happy to pay the increased price because I cannot stand traffic...

- Seanad: Veterinary Practice Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed). (23 Mar 2005)
Mary White: I am not setting myself up as an authority in this matter. However, my instinct is that this amendment is superfluous. It is good to see the original document and it is clearer and more attractive than a copy. There is a pride for the owner in displaying the original certificate.

- Seanad: Order of Business. (22 Mar 2005)
Mary White: We are all aware that Ireland is one of the richest countries in Europe. However, I find it hard to reconcile this with the fact that last Friday evening and all day on Saturday, teachers from Scoil Treasa Naofa on Donore Avenue in the Liberties were packing bags for shoppers in Crumlin shopping centre to raise money for art supplies for their pupils. It is deplorable that teachers in a...
- Seanad: Report on Long-Stay Care Charges: Statements. (10 Mar 2005)
Mary White: Carrying out my work as a Senator, I got to know the Secretary General of the Department of Health and Children. I always found him very supportive of me and other councillors in providing information on the Department. I believe that the Secretary General, Mr. Michael Kelly, is carrying the can for this report.
- Seanad: Report on Long-Stay Care Charges: Statements. (10 Mar 2005)
Mary White: This Secretary General is carrying the can. He is the sixth Secretary General to take this job in the past 30 years. He is an outstanding public servant and I support what Senator Quinn said yesterday about the collective error. I would also like to support the Minister for Education and Childrenââ
- Seanad: Report on Long-Stay Care Charges: Statements. (10 Mar 2005)
Mary White: That is fine. The Minister for Education and Children spoke about how she had the honour of being appointed by Charles Haughey to the Higher Education Authority for a number of years when he was Taoiseach. She also stated that Michael Kelly's breadth of expertise and his proven track record in the area of structural reform will allow the Higher Education Authority to give leadership and...

Mary White: I am sorry.
- Seanad: Report on Long-Stay Care Charges: Statements. (10 Mar 2005)
Mary White: No. I will wait until the Minister of State has finished. I would like to speak and refer to a Senator who was previously here in the Chamber. I want the Minister of State to hear what I am saying. I want to put on record the fact that, in future, the relationship between Ministers and senior civil servants will be different. As is currently happening in the United Kingdom, the role and...
