An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 May 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: They are not agreed. We had really shocking and devastating news from Westminster this morning for families and communities that have spent decades fighting for truth and justice for their loved ones who were lost in the conflict. The British Government proposes by close of business this evening to legislate for an end to families being able to take any civil actions or litigation and by...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 May 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: The British Government again acts unilaterally and refuses to implement that which is agreed. It refuses to work in partnership with anybody or with the Irish Government. Above all else, it treats families and survivors with utter contempt. I ask the Taoiseach to stand with the families today and to call out the actions of the British administration. In addition, I seek a facility for...

Mary Lou McDonald: And I am struck that the Taoiseach is in any way surprised that there is widespread clamour, and has been for some time, for proper investment in maternal and neonatal care and women's healthcare more generally.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 May 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: The Cabinet this afternoon signed off on the deal for the new national maternity hospital. Instead of securing a clean-cut transaction where the site will come into public ownership, the deal ensures the hospital will have a private landlord under a very convoluted ownership model.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 May 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: As the Taoiseach knows, for a very long time, midwives, clinicians and all concerned - and women of course - have been very much in favour of a new maternity hospital and proper investment in maternity services. That should not surprise any of us. The Taoiseach said there is an unanswered question. Let me put this to him. He says that €10 a year for 299 or 300 years is effective...
