- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Job Creation and Mortgage Support Schemes: Discussion with Department of Social Protection (2 Oct 2013)
Marie Moloney: I will be as brief as I can. I welcome the recently announced decrease in the number of people on the live register. While live register figures are a million miles from what we would wish them to be, this is a step in the right direction. As stated by Deputy O'Dea, data in respect of self-employed people is not recorded because they do not receive payments as they do not have access to...

Marie Moloney: I would like to say "well said" to Senator Quinn. I join Patricia King of SIPTU in welcoming the publication of the report of the Labour Court's review of joint labour committees. I am delighted that the Minister has accepted the report's recommendations and is putting in place the legal steps necessary for their implementation, as this will offer protection to low-paid workers. I wish to...
- Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Medical Card Eligibility (1 Oct 2013)
Marie Moloney: I again thank Senator Higgins for allowing me to contribute during her Adjournment matter debate, as well as thanking the Minister of State for his reply. Perhaps an amendment to the Act could be examined in due course. Were they to table such an amendment, Members first would enter into discussion with the Minister of State, who one would hope would agree to accept it.
- Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Medical Card Eligibility (1 Oct 2013)
Marie Moloney: I thank Senator Higgins for allowing me to speak on this issue. As the Minister of State is aware, this was the subject of an Adjournment debate I put forward some months ago. I reiterate my call on the Minister of State today to revisit the whole situation for cancer sufferers. The Minister of State will be aware that when a person is diagnosed, the word "cancer" drives terror into the...

I welcome Professor Buckley and thank her for taking the time to come. Of course, I welcome Ms Patricia Griffin who has been a long-time advocate of children and adults with Down's syndrome. I have a couple of questions. There is a report of the National...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Down's Syndrome Education Equality: Discussion (11 Sep 2013)
Marie Moloney: That is a worrying aspect. I am also concerned that the general allocation model, GAM, is based on the number of children enrolled in the school, not the number of children requiring support. In that case, a school that does not have any child requiring additional support would get the funding as well.

- Seanad: Order of Business (23 Jul 2013)
Marie Moloney: We have waited many years for a good spell of weather but unfortunately it has brought the drowning tragedies of the past few weeks.
