Seanad: Order of Business. (2 Jun 2004)

Mary White: Senator Brian Hayes has not allowed me to speak, although I listened to him. The bottom line is that these men have served their time for carrying false passports and should be sent home immediately. That is the opinion of Judge Jairo Acosta.

Seanad: Report on Seanad Reform: Statements (Resumed). (2 Jun 2004)

Mary White: I do not identify with what Senator Dardis said. I found it straightforward once I knew what it was about. I also disagree with his view on emigrants. He said that, because of what Mr. Donlon said, he would re-examine the issue. Why on earth, just because a previous ambassador to the United States said it is not that easy, would one revise one's opinion on emigrants voting in Senate...

Seanad: Copyright and Related Rights (Amendment) Bill 2004: Second Stage. (27 May 2004)

Mary White: I compliment them on their swift reaction and their entrepreneurial mindset in introducing this Bill to improve the copyright position. Senator Norris has brought the works of James Joyce to the forefront in this country and across the world and we are honoured to have him in the Seanad with us.
