Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Humanitarian Assistance for Household Flooding: Discussion (13 Jan 2016)

Marie Moloney: ...Moreover, the information leaflet issued by the Department before Christmas containing contact numbers was helpful. I sympathise with those affected by this flooding. It is disastrous and soul destroying for a person when his or her house is destroyed. In fairness, communities, neighbours and businesses have rowed in to help, and everyone thinks there is a great sense of community in...

Seanad: Order of Business (13 May 2015)

Marie Moloney: .... It just goes to show how dangerous social media can be. It really needs to be regulated. The use of false names and pictures on Twitter, in particular, by people who do what they like could destroy this young man's confidence and career. Indeed, it could destroy whatever chance there is of his playing for Ireland. I suggest, for want of a better pun, that we should put the boot on...

Seanad: Recent Severe Storm Damage: Statements (23 Jan 2014)

Marie Moloney: ..., power lines were cut and homes and businesses were flooded. It really had to be seen to be believed.

One can imagine how that would affect one mentally and how it would destroy one's confidence. Broken bones and black eyes will eventually heal, but psychological abuse can last a lifetime. I know of one woman, who is in receipt of a small pension and has €20...

Seanad: Protection of Children's Health from Tobacco Smoke Bill 2012: Second Stage (9 May 2012)

Marie Moloney: ...did not send anyone else. Everyone present agrees we have a duty of care to our citizens and that duty is all the greater to citizens who do not have a voice, our children. Choosing to smoke and destroying one's health is a matter for each individual. There has been enough publicity of the dangers of smoking to deter everybody for life. Unfortunately and unwisely, some choose to ignore...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2012)

Marie Moloney: I voice my concern in regard to the proposal to destroy the database which hold details of blood tests taken from babies, known as the heel test. This practice has been going on since the 1960s and there has never been a complaint about it. I know it contravenes EU law but it might be a retrograde step. Other Senators raised the household charge but I have a suggestion for the Leader to...
