Mary Lou McDonald: I thank the Taoiseach. I am sure he can understand the anxiety of workers who now no longer enjoy the protection of SEOs and their desire for absolute clarity on the protections afforded to them.

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Social Dialogue (21 Jul 2020)
Mary Lou McDonald: I would like to get more detail from the Taoiseach in respect of the way this unit will be configured. What are its precise objectives? Could he expand on this model of sectoral engagement? What will it consist of and what will be its modalities? It would be very helpful to get a sense of how this unit will engage with the Tánaiste in terms of his ministerial responsibilities. For...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Jul 2020)
Mary Lou McDonald: I wish to return to an issue the Taoiseach tried to brush off when it was raised by my colleague, Deputy Carthy, and to ask him two questions. Will he confirm to the House that the CAP budget is to be cut by 9% in constant prices compared with the last seven-year multi-annual financial framework, MFF? Can he answer "Yes" or "No"? Is it a matter of fact that there will be a 9% cut compared...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Jul 2020)
Mary Lou McDonald: The apology, when it was made, was for the non-disclosure element of this scandal. The family of Ruth Morrissey have made it very clear that they are not interested in apologies. That ship has very sadly sailed for Ruth Morrissey. What we need is action. The tribunal to which the Taoiseach referred is an adversarial mechanism. If I can quote Ms Justice Mary Irvine on the matter. She...

Mary Lou McDonald: It is also absolutely essential that while screening continues in the United States that it is invigilated. I cannot believe, after everything that has happened and on the day that we mark the passing of Ruth Morrissey, that the Taoiseach cannot accept the absolute necessity for Irish inspection of what is 90% of screening.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Jul 2020)

Mary Lou McDonald: The woman we have just respected, Ruth Morrissey, passed away on Sunday. As the Taoiseach is aware, Ruth was one of hundreds of women impacted upon by failures in the CervicalCheck screening system. She has paid the ultimate price for those failures and is now grieved by her family, including her heartbroken husband, Paul, her devastated little girl, Libby, and her wider family and circle...
