- Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2017)

- Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: -----for reasons that she needs to outline, she looked the other way. In fact, it was worse than that because she continued consistently to give political support and cover to the architect, or one of the architects, of that legal strategy, Commissioner Nóirín O'Sullivan. The Tánaiste picked her side and she certainly was not on Maurice McCabe's side.

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Departmental Staff Recruitment (22 Nov 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: The Taoiseach referred in some detail to the Brexit negotiations and the relationship between the Government and the government in London. He made the not unreasonable observation that he awaits a proposal from the British Government in respect of the Border issue on the island. I draw his attention to the utterly shambolic state of play in the British Government in respect of putting...
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (22 Nov 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: I agree. We met yesterday the British Prime Minister, Ms Theresa May. We raised with her a range of matters in respect of the current efforts to restore the political institutions. One matter in particular that we raised with her, and that I want to raise with the Taoiseach this afternoon, is the decision the British Government has taken to include a statute of limitations or a proposal...

- Leaders’ Questions (22 Nov 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: -----the Dáil and it reflects the fact that the Taoiseach is either misleading the Dáil again or he is being more than disingenuous. He has defined on the floor of the House "no prior knowledge" very specifically as after the fact of the cross-examination. He is now saying the Tánaiste knew nothing about this until the commission was under way. That was not the Taoiseach's...
- Leaders’ Questions (22 Nov 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: The Taoiseach said it twice - last Tuesday and last Wednesday. He needs to clarify it now. I do not think he should dig an even deeper hole or deepen this controversy by continuing to mislead the Dáil. The Tánaiste knew the nature of the legal strategy. Furthermore, she knew that information prior to the cross-examination of Maurice McCabe and she chose not to do anything about...
- Leaders’ Questions (22 Nov 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: The fact that the Taoiseach says now that he has ordered a trawl of documentation and that he is revisiting the Toland report in respect of the dysfunctionality of the Department of Justice and Equality simply underscores yet again the seriousness of this matter and the fact that it is not an isolated incident. There are now serious questions over the judgment, competence and credibility of...
