- Commission of Investigation relating to disclosures by members of An Garda Síochána: Statements (9 Feb 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: I remember when Sergeant Maurice McCabe came before the Committee of Public Accounts. At the time, the controversy in question arose in respect of the penalty points system. Members will recall that Sergeant McCabe stepped forward in an unprecedented way, came before the committee and gave evidence. That evidence was contested. It was certainly my impression, as a member of the then...

- Questions on Promised Legislation (9 Feb 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: Last night in a debate in the House of Commons on the Brexit Bill, the Conservative Party voted down an amendment which would have blocked any changes to the Good Friday Agreement pursuant to Brexit. It is clear that contrary to the assurances by Theresa May to An Taoiseach, the future of the Good Friday Agreement is not in fact sacrosanct. The Brexiteers from the Democratic Unionist Party,...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (9 Feb 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: This decision confirms our worst fears. Will the Tánaiste raise this matter with An Taoiseach to ensure it is raised at the highest level within the British Administration and ask that An Taoiseach stop playing as junior partner to the British Government in these matters?
- Leaders' Questions (9 Feb 2017)

- Leaders' Questions (9 Feb 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: This afternoon, we will debate the establishment of a commission of investigation into whistleblower allegations that go to the heart of Garda administration. I welcome that. It is long overdue. The protected disclosures that are the subject of the commission outline an alleged orchestrated campaign by some in senior Garda management positions to undermine Sergeant Maurice McCabe. Those...
- Leaders' Questions (9 Feb 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: The Tánaiste's answer is astonishing on many levels, not least because nothing I have said attributes any finding or conclusion of guilt to the Commissioner. What I have said and what Mr. Justice O'Neill set out is the rationale for a commission of investigation that is largely, if not exclusively, focused on the actions and activities of the former Garda Commissioner and the current...
- Hospital Waiting Lists: Statements (9 Feb 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: Listening to this debate, there has been a lot of focus, rightly, on the issue of accountability but one would never imagine that within this House there are parties and individuals who have overseen the mismanagement and the scandal that now unfolds before our very eyes. Deputies Micheál Martin, Howlin, Varadkar, Noonan and former Deputy James Reilly, who is now in the Upper House-----
- Hospital Waiting Lists: Statements (9 Feb 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: -----all held the position currently occupied by Deputy Harris and all must be held to account for the chaotic and inadequate two tier system that we endure. It is not a service for lots of people; it is actually an endurance test. People do not know whether they can get an appointment or get on a waiting list, how long they will be waiting on that list and whether they should go on...
- Hospital Waiting Lists: Statements (9 Feb 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: -----hope that they might get some service. I have one very specific question for the Minister. This time last year I raised with the then Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Burton, the plight of children and young adults with scoliosis awaiting surgery. I was informed at the time that the new orthopaedic theatre at Crumlin hospital would open in April of last...
