HSE Financial Statement 2015: Note 13 re Fair Deal Scheme
Health Repayments Scheme Donations Fund 2015 (9 Mar 2017) Mary Lou McDonald: Obviously the Department would have to talk to the HSE. I am trying to figure out how the review will work. I want a mechanical picture of how the review will work and who will be involved. Will the HSE and HIQA be involved? Would Nursing Homes Ireland, or whatever the group is called, be involved or consulted?

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Commissions of Inquiry (8 Mar 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: I want to raise two issues. First, in respect of the commission on NAMA and Project Eagle, I hear a kind of reticence in the Taoiseach's presentation that there is somehow a question mark over whether there will in fact be a commission. When we undertook our examination in the PAC, it was never understood or intended to be an alternative to the commission we had all agreed to and signed up...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Northern Ireland (8 Mar 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: It is not simply that the numbers have changed in the composition of the Assembly, although that is true as Deputy Micheál Martin has noted. Something much more fundamental and significant has happened, not least the fact that the Unionist majority in the Assembly is now gone. This changes everything and there needs to be a moment of reflection, as the Taoiseach urged earlier, for...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (8 Mar 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: The Taoiseach has indicated to my party leader, Deputy Adams, on several occasions that the Government intends to publish a White Paper on Brexit. The British Government is expected to trigger Article 50 next week if it overcomes the obstacles that have been erected by the House of Lords. That will create a step change in respect of Brexit, as it will mean we will move away from talking and...

Mary Lou McDonald: When will we see the amended terms of reference?
- Questions on Promised Legislation (8 Mar 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: I am very glad to hear that the Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath, has withdrawn the terms of reference proposed for the Grace inquiry. It was very clear that the Minister of State and the Government made a huge error in seeking to exclude victims and families. I assume that the new terms of reference will remedy that situation. When will the new terms of reference be published?...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (8 Mar 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: Deputy Howlin is correct in identifying that one hour was provided for Members to bring forward amendments. That is not a serious way to deal with these terms of reference. The Taoiseach has acknowledged the upset and anger that getting this wrong has caused. We certainly do not want a rerun of that. When will we see the terms of reference? Can the Taoiseach assure us that we will be...

- Leaders' Questions (8 Mar 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: We can agree on one crucial point, which is the necessity to get this right. I absolutely agree with the Taoiseach on that. I also remind him that in 2014 and 2015, when the Government was preparing this commission of investigation, it was made very clear to the Taoiseach how badly wrong he was getting it and he disregarded that advice. I also remind the Taoiseach that as far back as...
