Mary Lou McDonald: Current funding of €5 million is needed. The Government has known about this for many years. It is a matter of funding. We can deal with this quite simply. I want a commitment from the Taoiseach that the moneys required to give these children the procedures they need will be released as a matter of urgency. Deputy Cullinane and I have met with CHI. By all means, the Taoiseach...

Ceisteanna - Questions: National Economic Plan (30 Sep 2020)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...Government is assuming a certain level of resilience for micro and small businesses in the next 12 months that does not reflect the reality for many of them. These local businesses employ over 1 million people. Hospitality and local pubs are the typical employers on which many communities rely for employment. These are not just places of social interaction, they are vital employers and...

Leaders' Questions (4 Jul 2018)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...and from most journalists, but he is not interested in those legitimate issues. He simply wanted to have a go. From the paid for content scandal earlier this year to the controversy surrounding his €5 million spin unit, the Taoiseach's interest seems to be in spin and optics. Will he tell us who was at this lunch? Will he publish or provide the names? Is there a record of...

Mary Lou McDonald: ...got here in the end. It has been confirmed that in the first financial report of the year released by the Department of Health, the Health Service Executive, HSE, recorded a deficit of more than €100 million in January and February of this year.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Estimates Process (22 May 2018)

Mary Lou McDonald: The budget for the Department of the Taoiseach is revised downwards from €35.891 million to €33.391 million, a 9% reduction. Only when we consider the bigger figures do we fully realise the significance of the €5 million SCU figure. That would have represented something like 15% of the Estimate for the Department, so the Taoiseach obviously attached very considerable...

Leaders' Questions (17 Apr 2018)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...him that the ODCE needs to be assisted in doing its work and I challenge the Taoiseach to put his money where his mouth is. I will grant that he did better than Deputy Micheál Martin when, in 2005, 2006 and 2007, as the line Minister, he, in a studious way, ignored the calls for an increase in the number of staff for the office. The Taoiseach now tells us that there are 36 staff and...

Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2018)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...is his assertion of his own personal conspiracy theory. I am not entirely impressed with the Taoiseach's political priorities. In budget 2018 the strategic communications unit was allocated €5 million. I will put this in context. This is one third of the additional money that was promised for mental health - so much for the Taoiseach's political priorities. This communications...

Leaders' Questions (18 Jan 2018)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...wronged and vowed to fix this anomaly. However, she has expressed the view that something magical will have to happen if the money is to be found. I remind the House that the Government infamously conjured up €5 million to fund a strategic communications unit as the Taoiseach's vanity project. It was able to find enough financial space to introduce tax cuts which...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Strategic Communications Unit (28 Nov 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: I will try to be brief. Am I right in saying that additional resources of €900,000, in addition to the €5 million, have been allocated to this unit? Perhaps the Taoiseach will clarify that. I share the concerns articulated about the blurring of the distinction between what might rightly be considered a straight information campaign and straying into matters that might be...

Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...and the depiction of the entire scope of sexual violence in Ireland. This is the right thing to do. The Minister is correct that it is about prioritisation. It is not lost on Members that €5 million was prioritised for the Government's strategic communications unit.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Staff (17 Oct 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...labour? I want the Taoiseach to address another issue. He previously made a claim that the strategic communications unit was cost-neutral. As we know, in the budget the Taoiseach allocated €5 million to that unit. That is hardly cost-neutral. Can the Taoiseach explain that contradiction? I know the former Senator, Mr. D'Arcy, is the Taoiseach's advisor on the North, the...
