- Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (15 Jul 2020)
Mary Lou McDonald: I am sharing time with my colleague, Deputy Brady. This weekend the European Council will meet to discuss the multiannual financial framework for the EU, as the Taoiseach said. The MFF will shape and direct the financial policies and priorities of the EU for the best part of the next decade. It will have a significant impact on the lives of ordinary workers and families in Ireland. The...
- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committees (15 Jul 2020)
Mary Lou McDonald: The previous Government allowed the HSE to implement a cut of 1% to the 2020 budget for disability services. I raised this matter on behalf of the Disability Action Coalition during the lockdown and the HSE insisted that these so-called efficiencies, which amount to €20 million, had to be found. Far from trying to cushion the blow or give additional support they insisted on this very...

- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committees (15 Jul 2020)
Mary Lou McDonald: One of the driving rationales for the Cabinet sub-committees that we have discussed is to achieve what the Taoiseach called a coherence in government and cross-departmental working. That is important and it is very challenging for public administration to reach that point. In the case of health, a number of immediacies need to be recognised. The first is the reality that because of the...
- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Communications (15 Jul 2020)
Mary Lou McDonald: For the record, I wish to reflect on the fact that the Taoiseach has not answered the very straightforward question I put to him. From the record of the Dáil, we now know the Taoiseach knew that Deputy Cowen had made an incomplete statement to the Dáil. We will therefore have to ask the Tánaiste and the leader of the Green Party, the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, whether they...
- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committees (15 Jul 2020)
Mary Lou McDonald: My ask is straightforward. On the weekend of 3 and 4 July, the Taoiseach discussed all aspects of the Cowen case with the former Minister, Deputy Cowen. On what date did the Taoiseach give full information or have a full discussion with the Tánaiste and with the leader of the Green Party? On what date did the Taoiseach make them fully conversant with all of the facts? That is all I want.

- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committees (15 Jul 2020)
Mary Lou McDonald: We discussed some of these matters yesterday and the Taoiseach again set out for us the committee structure, for which I thank him. Yesterday I asked him about the Government co-ordination committee and he explained that this was the forum in which the Taoiseach, Tánaiste and the leader of the Green Party would meet and discuss matters. I asked the Taoiseach yesterday if that was the...
- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (15 Jul 2020)
Mary Lou McDonald: The ban on evictions, notices to quit and rent increases expires on Monday next. As the Taoiseach will be aware, tens of thousands of renters who have lost income due to Covid-19 are protected by this ban and without it, they will be immediately at risk of eviction or perhaps homelessness. There were worrying reports in last weekend's papers that the Taoiseach is being advised not to extend...
