Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committees (9 Sep 2020)

Mary Lou McDonald: I want to raise two issues with the Taoiseach that I believe need to be top of the agendas of the committee on Europe and the Government.

The Taoiseach will know that, for the past two years, my colleague, an Teachta Pearse Doherty, has challenged the insurance industry for its rip-off practices. It...

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committees (9 Sep 2020)

Mary Lou McDonald: This is not, in fact, a new departure for a British Government. Departing from agreements struck and made is pretty common practice but what makes this different is the public way in which it has been presented. The Secretary of State came to the House of Commons and said that the British Government would breach international law. It is not so much that the British state has never breached...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Sep 2020)

Mary Lou McDonald: Now, not alone are they proposing to walk away from binding international commitments but yet again they are turning their faces away from the democratic decision of people on our island.

Mary Lou McDonald: I raise with the Taoiseach the issue of the British Government's clear intention to renege on the Irish protocol. As the Taoiseach will know, the protocol was secured after a very long negotiation. It represents the bare minimum required to protect Irish interests.
