- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (12 Apr 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: Thank you, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, for reminding me of the rules. The people faced the Taoiseach down on water charges. They called a halt to the Government's plans and privatisation agenda and the Taoiseach did not like it one bit. Yesterday, the Government and Fianna Fáil cobbled together a deal that seeks to subvert the will of the people and their democratically expressed...
- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (12 Apr 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: The connivance is provided by the Taoiseach's party in its blatant undermining of the democratic and political processes within the Oireachtas. The cute-hoorism is, as ever, provided by Fianna Fáil, which has flip-flopped once again. Fianna Fáil Members have used their political strength not to be constructive, as they proclaim, but to face down and thwart the will of the people....
- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (12 Apr 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: When it comes down to it, Fianna Fáil will look after itself first. That comes as no surprise but many people will be glad of the reminder.

What they call the centre ground is in really the insiders...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (11 Apr 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: The simple repetition of "no return to a hard Border" does not achieve no return to a hard Border. If we are to take Ms Theresa May and the Tories at their word, we are walking very close to a return to a hard Border. The Taoiseach will know, because we debated it in the Dáil, that a motion was passed proposing we seek special designated status for the North of Ireland within the...
