Marc MacSharry: ...individual in the House to do anything other than support this legislation. As a non-aligned Member of the House for now, the only facility open to me to progress this legislation is to enter it into the weekly lottery of Private Members' legislation in order that it can move to Second Stage. As I said, this is a win-win for sellers, consumers as the ultimate purchasers, the legal...

Marc MacSharry: ...like all of us, for a resolution. I would love if we could include this in the Constitution as a right and fulfil it but, as matters stand, we would be as well enshrining the right to the winning lottery numbers because, sadly, more would be left without them than would have them. That is the sad reality. I support the amendment and the proposal to have the relevant Oireachtas committee...

- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Oct 2013)
Marc MacSharry: ...with a point mentioned by Senator Byrne and also mentioned last night. In the context of the Back to Work scheme, the analogy I gave last night was that one might as well tell the head of the national lottery to give the winning lottery numbers to the first person to come in with both parents over the age of 105; I predict nobody will qualify for that particular scheme and that an...

The existing consultant broke ranks last week to say he cannot take GP referrals because prioritising would be a lottery and waiting lists in Sligo generally were three years, while in Letterkenny, for which he is also responsible, the waiting list is five years.

- Seanad: Proposed Emergency Funding to Greece: Statements (16 Feb 2010)
Marc MacSharry: ...undermined the strength of the euro in recent days and certainly undermines the European Union. There were suggestions Italy had engaged in this practice. From 2001 Greece forward sold its future lottery receipts and airport landing fees, which is a disgrace. It was also wrong. It was on foot of doing so that Greece joined the single currency. Derivatives can be very useful instruments...
