- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Mental Health Services: Mental Health Reform (23 Oct 2014)
Marc MacSharry: I thank you Dr. McDaid for her presentation. I apologise for being late. I have read it in the meantime. Could she provide a view on out-of-hours social worker access? Actions speak louder than words. The National Office for Suicide Prevention advertised recently for ten suicide prevention officers nationally. Our assessment is that 40 are required, at least one per county and...

Marc MacSharry: I join others in seeking an update on the Irish Water situation. In line with my party colleagues I call for the full suspension of water charges until such time as we have some clarity and until we see an end to type of headless chicken management that we became used to under the former Minister for Health, Deputy Reilly, and that we see from the Government and the management of Irish...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Preparedness for Ebola Virus in Ireland: Discussion (16 Oct 2014)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the delegation for the answers. I am not trying to scaremonger here but ask the delegation to apprise itself with the University of Minnesota's paper.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Preparedness for Ebola Virus in Ireland: Discussion (16 Oct 2014)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Preparedness for Ebola Virus in Ireland: Discussion (16 Oct 2014)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the Minister, Dr. Holohan and his team for their presentation. The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, CIDRAP, at the University of Minnesota has just advised the CDC and the World Health Organization, WHO, that the aerosol transmission of small or large particles is possible. The WHO has stated that face masks should be worn and the Department has sent those to GPs....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Coping with Stillbirth Loss: Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Association (16 Oct 2014)
Marc MacSharry: I thank Mr. Roche, Ms Murphy and Ms Cregan for sharing their phenomenal stories with us. It is amazing how ignorant we can be, or certainly I am, of things of which we should be aware. I will be proposing, as I am sure the rest of the committee would do, that the day be acknowledged as an official day. What are the costs of running the organisation and from where does Féileacáin...
- Seanad: Order of Business (14 Oct 2014)
Marc MacSharry: I join with others in welcoming our new colleague and wish him every success in his endeavours here in the coming months and years. It is with great dismay that I note the Taoiseach's ongoing contempt for this House continues. We see the budget in its entirety in the hands of the media - the political correspondents in the print and broadcast media. They have been in a position so far...
- Seanad: Order of Business (9 Oct 2014)
Marc MacSharry: Could the Acting Leader make arrangements for the appropriate Minister who I presume is the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to come to the House and answer some questions about Irish Water in particular? On this occasion, I am not talking specifically about the charges although they are areas we all want to discuss as usual. We might ask the Minister for the...
- Seanad: Defence Forces Overseas Missions: Statements (Resumed) (8 Oct 2014)
Marc MacSharry: Well that is rich coming from the Minister of State. He should ask the woman to whom he and Mr. O'Doherty in his office gave the commitment. He is a disgrace to the military.
- Seanad: Defence Forces Overseas Missions: Statements (Resumed) (8 Oct 2014)
Marc MacSharry: He should resign if that is the way he treats the military.
- Seanad: Defence Forces Overseas Missions: Statements (Resumed) (8 Oct 2014)
Marc MacSharry: There is no question whatsoever of me withdrawing the word "disgrace". I assure the Chair that it is used only because I cannot think of a stronger word that clearly underlines the treatment of the family of which the Government is well aware.
- Seanad: Defence Forces Overseas Missions: Statements (Resumed) (8 Oct 2014)
Marc MacSharry: I am not showing any disrespect to anyone. I have a real respect for our military. This Minister of State has none given what he did to the person who was medically discharged last Monday, despite his personal commitment.
- Seanad: Defence Forces Overseas Missions: Statements (Resumed) (8 Oct 2014)
Marc MacSharry: They are watching on the Internet. The Minister of State can say "Hello" to them. They have been looking for him for months.
- Seanad: Defence Forces Overseas Missions: Statements (Resumed) (8 Oct 2014)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the House for extending the time for this debate and the Minister of State for making himself available. I commend the Ministers, Deputies Coveney and Kehoe, for their efforts in this regard. I come from an Army town in the north west with Finner Camp on our doorstep. For many generations, people from my area have served the country loyally in a variety of international missions, as...
