- Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I will conclude on this point. With regard to the launch in Sligo, which the Minister, Deputy Charles Flanagan, said I was not even at, let me tell him I was there. Deputies, former Tánaistí and so on were there, stuck at the back - we were sitting at tables - while Fine Gael's known and respected supporters were shown to their seats.
- Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)
Marc MacSharry: We then had schoolchildren in from the local schools, which was fantastic, and they were given questions to ask. How do I know this? My niece was one of them. It was stage managed to a tee. This must end.

- Sustainable Seaweed Harvesting: Motion [Private Members] (7 Mar 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I thank Deputies Connolly and Pringle for the opportunity to discuss this matter. I agree with Deputies Ó Cuív and Murphy O'Mahony regarding the beauty of all of the constituencies on the western seaboard. If beauty equalled licensing and resources for those constituencies, we probably would not have to have this debate. Sadly, however, it does not. When I think about how we...
- Consumer Protection (Regulation of Credit Servicing Firms) (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 Mar 2018)
Marc MacSharry: There are many reasons not to accept this Bill but I very much hope the Minister will look for the reasons and the positives to ensure he accepts it. For too long we have been focused on the bottom line of the banks and the systemic nature of the banks while ignoring the systemic nature of people.

Marc MacSharry: Pages 96 and 97 of the programme for Government reads: "Building a visible and familiar policing presence is vital to...deterring crime." This has been replicated all over the country, but I will raise an example of something that is happening in the Chief Whip's constituency in Donegal where a Garda station, despite being scheduled for a €2 million upgrade, which is on the...
