- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Jun 2013)
Marc MacSharry: I join with colleagues in welcoming back Senator David Norris. It is good to see him. I propose an amendment to the Order of Business to ask that the Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan, or whatever Minister is available, comes to the House today to discuss the new voluntary code of conduct on mortgage arrears announced by the Central Bank of Ireland and the personal debt crisis which is now...
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Jun 2013)
Marc MacSharry: My amendment states: "That the Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan, or whatever Minister is available, comes to the House today to discuss the new voluntary code of conduct on mortgage arrears announced by the Central Bank of Ireland and the personal debt crisis which is now the burden of so many households throughout the country."

Marc MacSharry: I have been talking about this since 2009.
- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jun 2013)
Marc MacSharry: Following on from the theme of the Government speakers, in particular Senator Bacik, it is my opinion that no inquiry under 2005 Act, no tribunal or no Oireachtas inquiry will give the results all of us deserve and desire quickly enough. As Senator Bacik said, the expedition of a criminal investigation is of the utmost urgency. As somebody who knows very little about criminal law and how...
- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jun 2013)
Marc MacSharry: Frankly, the Taoiseach is diverting slightly from the crux of the debate, which Senator Bacik captured very well, which is to expedite a criminal investigation. I call on the Leader to ask the Taoiseach to contact the Garda Commissioner and the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement today to ask what has been happening with these tapes for the past three years, who has them, who has...

Marc MacSharry: I know I am but it is a very important issue. On a slightly different note, I can hardly contain my excitement today that the Taoiseach has agreed to come to the House.
- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jun 2013)

- Seanad: Public Health (Availability of Defibrillators) Bill 2013: Second Stage [Private Members] (19 Jun 2013)
Marc MacSharry: That is in the eye of the beholder.
- Seanad: Public Health (Availability of Defibrillators) Bill 2013: Second Stage [Private Members] (19 Jun 2013)
Marc MacSharry: Sadly, Private Members' Bills such as the Access to Cancer Treatment Bill introduced by Senator Crown and me, the Family Home Bill and other Bills were interpreted as political ammunition even though they were not. I take solace in the fact that some of good suggestions made by Independent Senators have been embraced. I hope that today's Bill will move forward apace, unlike the Construction...
- Seanad: Public Health (Availability of Defibrillators) Bill 2013: Second Stage [Private Members] (19 Jun 2013)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the Minister for returning to the House again today. I appreciate all the time that he gives us. I commend Senator Quinn in particular and Senator Crown on bringing forward this Bill. It is a no-brainer. Senator Quinn has made the points on the positive impact that this can have. The statistics seem to show it is all about how quickly a person can have access to a defibrillator....

- Seanad: Health (Amendment) Bill 2013: Second Stage (19 Jun 2013)
Marc MacSharry: I welcome the Minister. Anybody can be late and we understand that, so there is no difficulty, particularly as the Minister is one of the best attenders in the House. Nonetheless, it is customary that we get a copy of the speech when a Minister begins speaking. We did not get it until the end, and three were given to the Government side-----
