- Business of Dáil (4 May 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: I am working on the assumption that the acting Minister for Justice and Equality would be in attendance and would make a statement on the matter.

Mary Lou McDonald: Not agreed. It is not so much that we have an issue with statements on agriculture or climate change, which are important issues, but the fact I have raised on two separate occasions the issue of violence on our streets and the killings that have happened, particularly in Dublin and the north inner city.
