- Order of Business (29 Jan 2015)
Mary Lou McDonald: I concur entirely with all of the sentiments expressed by Deputy Martin. In addition to concerns regarding open and free democratic debate in this Chamber and the interpretation of Standing Orders, it seems a perverse interpretation of Standing Order 57.

- Leaders' Questions (29 Jan 2015)
Mary Lou McDonald: The difficulty arising from the questions put by Deputy Cowen is that everybody can see that the Government's handling of this unfair water tax has been shambolic.
