- Independent Planning Regulator: Motion [Private Members] (12 May 2015)
Mary Lou McDonald: I am sure Mr. Nevin has no issue with me mentioning him. Despite the fact that only a small number of people could have been aware of the contents of the file or had access to the Minister's office, I understand the mystery of who took this file remains unsolved. Clearly there is something amiss in all of this. I am not accusing the current Minister of involvement in anything underhand,...
- Independent Planning Regulator: Motion [Private Members] (12 May 2015)

- Topical Issues: English Language Training Organisations (12 May 2015)
Mary Lou McDonald: I thank the Minister for the clarification on the listing of courses. The people I have spoken to misunderstood or perhaps were overly impressed with that listing. Nonetheless, in her response, the Minister outlines the need for full adherence to immigration regulations and law, and we all agree on that. I detected a heavier emphasis on that than on the students who have been the casualty...

Mary Lou McDonald: There seems to be no end to this saga which has unfolded before our eyes. This morning a creditors meeting was held in the case involving the National College of Business Administration, NCBA. Astonishingly, it was revealed that the college had €5,000 in assets and €300,000 in debts at the time of its closure, this despite the fact that students had paid thousands of euro in...
