- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Junior Certificate History Curriculum: Discussion (12 Jun 2013)
Marie Moloney: I thank the witnesses for coming before the joint committee. Mr. Hanlon stated his worries that students may not pick history. It is a case of history repeating itself, because I went to a technical college and neither history nor geography was on the curriculum, more moons ago than when Deputy Ó Ríordáin was at school. We never had an opportunity to study history. I have...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Junior Certificate History Curriculum: Discussion (12 Jun 2013)
Marie Moloney: Is that not a school management problem?
- Seanad: Youth Unemployment: Motion (12 Jun 2013)
Marie Moloney: I welcome the Minister of State to the House and the opportunity to speak on the EU guarantee. The wider problem of youth unemployment is something that has consumed this Government's focus since coming to office. The matter has been raised in the Seanad on many occasions and I commend Sinn Féin Senators for once again bringing it back on the political agenda through Private Members'...

- Seanad: Order of Business (11 Jun 2013)
Marie Moloney: Senator MacSharry should show some respect. He refers to people showing respect. He should show respect to the Chair.
- Seanad: Order of Business (11 Jun 2013)
Marie Moloney: The Senator referred to how long he has been a Member of the House. I would have thought that by now he would be aware of the need to show respect to the Chair. Senator MacSharry has not shown respect to the Chair and he should not, therefore, speak about the need to show respect.
- Seanad: Order of Business (11 Jun 2013)
Marie Moloney: I wish to add my sympathies to those already offered to the family of the late Senator Tom Fitzgerald. I take this opportunity to condemn the State Examinations Commission for its shoddy work in respect of this year's examinations. It should never have allowed incorrect questions to be included on examination papers and must be called to account. I request that the Minister for Education...

Marie Moloney: Everyone else went way over time.
- Seanad: Early Child Care Education Standards: Statements (30 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: I will not go over what everyone has said. The image we saw in the "Prime Time" programme of children being flipped and flung onto the floor will stick in the minds of everyone and particularly in the minds of parents with children in crèches. We must act swiftly and comprehensively to deal with the issue. Parents need to be able to sleep easily at night and we need to let them know...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Pupil-Teacher Ratio in Gaeltacht Schools: Discussion (29 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: How do I follow that contribution? I could not speak for that length of time as Béarla nó as Gaeilge. I have an observation and a question. Is this open to legal challenge by people living in the Gaeltacht? Is it their constitutional right, having been born in a Gaeltacht area to Gaeltacht parents who speak Irish, to be taught through the medium of Irish? I ask the question...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Pupil-Teacher Ratio in Gaeltacht Schools: Discussion (29 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: I welcome the ladies. I know Ms Ní Mhainín but I have not met Ms Ní Chartúir before. I also welcome the Department officials. Well over a year ago we attended a public meeting in Dingle and a big crowd came out that night to support the retention of the Gaelscoileanna. I got a quick lesson that night on the difference between Gaelscoileanna and Gaeltacht schools...

Marie Moloney: Well said.
- Seanad: Order of Business (28 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: I welcome the announcement of the relocation and upgrading of the National Maternity Hospital. On a number of occasions I have asked for a question and answer session with the Minister for Health. We would like to raise a number of issues and the opportunity never arises when dealing with legislation. As Senator Aideen Hayden pointed out, today is the closing date for registration for...
