- Leaders' Questions (26 Jan 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I shall begin arís and with feeling, if the Fianna Fáilers can contain themselves. The Minister does not have to convince me of the value of that relationship. Irish America has kept faith with this country and has been a valuable advocate, not least in respect of the Irish peace process. I am glad to hear the issue of the undocumented is high...

- Leaders' Questions (26 Jan 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: Since he formally took office as President of the United States, we have had a flavour of the new White House policy under Mr. Donald Trump. Yesterday, he signed executive orders to build a wall along the US border with Mexico and to crack down on cities which shield undocumented immigrants. Late last night, in a flagrant disregard for all international human rights protocols, the President...
- Symphysiotomy: Statements (26 Jan 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: Judge Harding Clark's report on the surgical symphysiotomy ex gratiapayments scheme does not remedy an injustice, as the Minister claims, but in fact adds to the injustice faced by a group of women, women maimed without their consent by this State and its health services. After everything these women have been through, some suffering for over 60 years, they are effectively being...
- Establishment of Commission of Investigation into the Stardust Tragedy: Motion [Private Members] (25 Jan 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: I acknowledge the presence of the families who are here in the Visitors Gallery and commend their work. I also commend our colleague, Deputy Broughan, for bringing this motion forward. It is straightforward in seeking a commission of investigation. No parent expects to bury a child. It goes against the natural order of things, yet these families faced that reality and have lived with...

- Questions on Promised Legislation (19 Jan 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: The programme for Government contains a commitment on the value and benefits of rural transport links for communities. In respect of that, and with an eye to the fiasco that is unfolding around Bus Éireann and the very aggressive position taken by management, I note that the Minister is missing in action from all of this. I ask that the Minister, Deputy Ross, be asked to present...
- Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: I entirely echo the Tánaiste's sentiments in respect of the screening process. I return to my initial point. This is why public confidence is so essential. For the uptake to increase and therefore for danger to citizens' health to decrease, people must have confidence in the system. These events date back to October 2014. This has been a long running saga. A number of people...
- Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: I want to raise a HSE report into colonoscopy screening services at Wexford General Hospital. The report concerns the recall of patients who were treated by a consultant referred to as "clinician Y". The recall was instigated on foot of two cases of cancer being detected in October 2014 in patients who had recently undergone a colonoscopy but had not been diagnosed. The report found a...

Mary Lou McDonald: For what purpose? They did not like my press statement. Is that it?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Jan 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: That is fine. In fact, the remarks I made were simply to clear an inaccuracy. I will have to look again at the transcript of the meeting. NAMA officials had posited a scenario as to where this had originated and we had established that it was not true. To me, that much is duly noted.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Jan 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: There is no question of NAMA not receiving fair procedure. The agency got a perfectly fair hearing.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Jan 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: That is appropriate.
