Nomination of Taoiseach (Resumed) (14 Apr 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: Neither Deputy Martin nor Deputy Kenny have been elected as Taoiseach because they do not enjoy the confidence of this Dáil. We should not be under any illusion that anybody outside in the real world is convinced for a second that either of those men or either of their parties - Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael - will make things better, more equal or more fair. That is the stuff of...

Business of Dáil (6 Apr 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: I understand absolutely, as does everybody else, the constitutional imperative of electing a Taoiseach and forming a government. That is not a matter of dispute. Equally, however, it is true to say - we see it unfolding before us - there is a real crisis in the real world. There is a constitutional obligation on us to be permitted to carry out our tasks. The motion very specifically...

Business of Dáil (6 Apr 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: My colleagues and I have submitted a motion proposing the establishment of a committee to deal with the homelessness and housing crisis. The motion mimics and echoes the motion which formed the Sub-Committee on Dáil Reform. Given the political uncertainty, hiatus and delay and the fact that no credible proposition for Taoiseach, much less for a Government, has been established, it is...

Housing and Homelessness: Statements (22 Mar 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: I listened carefully to what the caretaker Minister had to say. He urged us all to deal with the facts and then conveniently ignored them. These are the facts. According to the Dublin Regional Homeless Executive, the number of new families who have become homeless increased from 41 in December to 125 this year. The fact is that in such a short time the number of families experiencing...

Sittings and Business of Dáil: Motion (10 Mar 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: Whatever about your argument on our motion - it sounds a bit spurious and slavish to the established way of Dáil working-----

Sittings and Business of Dáil: Motion (10 Mar 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: I am astonished that you would blankly refuse to accept an amendment from Deputy Murphy looking for statements on Irish Water. That is not properly a matter for Private Members' time in any way. With all due respect, I do not believe you have the authority to simply disregard an amendment that a Member of this Chamber wishes to make. It would be preferable for the motion to be taken. You...

Sittings and Business of Dáil: Motion (10 Mar 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: That is how it sounds to me. If you would not mind, a Cheann Comhairle, and we all appreciate that this cannot go on all night, where Members wish to propose amendments, I think it is for you to facilitate that process, not to knock people back on the first day of the 32nd Dáil that apparently was so committed to Dáil reform.

Nomination of Taoiseach (10 Mar 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: Is mór an onóir dom an Teachta Gearóid Mac Ádhaimh a ainmniú mar Thaoiseach. Mar Thaoiseach, comhlíonfaidh sé na gealltanais atá tugtha ag Sinn Féin do mhuintir na hÉireann le linn an olltoghcháin. Tá na daoine a chuir a muinín ionainn agus a thug a mandáid dúinn ag brath orainn go géar. Tá sé de...
