Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (18 Oct 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: The delegates are knowledgeable men of the world in terms of their market experience and how all of this rolls. Why would PIMCO have been minded to give Frank Cushnahan £5 million? I do not know what that amounts to in euro but it is a lot of money. Perhaps the witnesses would give us an explanation for that.

Financial Resolutions 2016 - Budget Statement 2016 (13 Oct 2015)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...government. The Government has created chaos and now wants to talk up recovery, but recovery for whom? In the midst of economic chaos and vicious cutbacks, the wealthiest have still thrived. The wealthiest 250 individuals in the State saw their wealth grow by 16% to €75 billion in the past 12 months. There is no fear for them, yet this is the group that most concerns and most...

Mary Lou McDonald: 52. To ask the Minister for Finance if he will provide a list of the shareholders who benefitted from the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation 2012 Siteserv transaction, when €5 million was provided in dividends. [16870/15]

Leaders' Questions (23 Apr 2015)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...should realise she is citing an office that is not capable of carrying out the investigation and does not have the remit to do so. I wonder why she is doing that. We know Siteserv was sold off for €45 million. We know this was at a cost to the taxpayer of €105 million. That is a lot of money. We know the same legal advisers acted for both the purchaser and seller, and...

Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: I am a little puzzled because the €40 million figure includes integrated design team costs of €6.1 million. As Mr. Pollock indicated to Deputy Connaughton, these costs related to connectivity and joining up, in a rational, efficient and quality manner, the services of three separate hospitals to create one service. I am concerned and do not fully understand how the level of...

Social Clauses in Public Procurement Bill 2013: Second Stage [Private Members] (17 Oct 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." This Bill legislates for the mandatory inclusion of social clauses in all public procurement contracts worth in excess of €1 million. Social clauses enable Government to use public procurement contracts as a multitasking instrument of policy. Merely using public contracts to obtain goods and services is now an outdated approach....

Garda Inspectorate Report on the Fixed Charge Processing System: Statements (26 Mar 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...the Garda inspectorate. The Garda inspectorate went further than the Comptroller and Auditor General could go or was prepared to go in that it estimated the loss of revenue to the State by the failure to serve summonses at approximately €7.4 million. We never got a concrete figure from the Comptroller and Auditor General but the broad calculation was always somewhere in and around...

National Training Fund (4 Jul 2013)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...inadequacies of the monitoring processes and the need to beef them up have been acknowledged all round. I have two worries in respect of that fund. The first is the reimbursement of over €11 million to the EU. We discussed this here previously. The Minister was moved to describe the handling of that matter as maladministration, if I recall it correctly. He used very strong...

Public Accounts Committee: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Houses of the Oireachtas Commission - Review of Allowances (23 Oct 2012)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...matters as against the last Administration and previous Administrations. That is unquestionably the case, but we must still acknowledge that there is a big problem when, in this case, we have €5 million in travel and accommodation expenses being paid out. I am not making a judgment on the integrity of any Member in the use of these moneys. The problem resides with the fact that...

Public Accounts Committee: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Houses of the Oireachtas Commission - Review of Allowances (23 Oct 2012)

Mary Lou McDonald: Let me repeat, it is just over €5 million. I read in the note sent to members that Mr. Coughlan states that this covers the cost of travel to and from Leinster House, overnight stays and, for Deputies only, any other travel expenses within a member's constituency. Of course, that has been preceded by a comment from the Attorney General.

Mary Lou McDonald: ...on high incomes. While the Labour Party talks the talk of fair and progressive taxation, it certainly does not walk the walk. Budget 2012 reduced the poorest 40% of households' incomes by up to 2.5%. At the same time, it protected the top 30% of high earners whose incomes dropped by just 0.7%. We all know that when the previous Government was in power, Fianna Fáil's cuts to social...
