Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (24 Jan 2023)

Mary Lou McDonald: The independent review from the Mental Health Commission makes it clear that the failures identified in Kerry CAMHS last year are, sadly, reflected across the community health organisation network. I heard the Taoiseach say earlier that there is a plan to appoint a clinical lead in this area. I have to put to him that much more than that needs to be done, and done urgently. As with...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Jan 2023)

Mary Lou McDonald: Nice try. That is a nice try at a distraction. If the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform has a very faulty memory, then I have to say the Taoiseach is of Olympic-level competence in trying to breed further distractions. This is what has happened. Every rule in the book has been broken. Spending limits, I suspect, have been breached. Certainly, a corporate donation was made by...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Jan 2023)

Mary Lou McDonald: The controversy surrounding the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Donohoe's undisclosed election donations raises again Fine Gael's relationship with big business and its influence at the heart of Government.
