- Seanad: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (13 Dec 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I wanted to speak about the capital plan. As many of my colleagues have outlined, the issue of Garda stations is of great importance to us all across the country. My colleague, Senator Chambers, referred to how the rural areas are being left behind. They feel that the resources are being allocated to the bigger urban areas. I am in one of those bigger urban areas, namely, the greater...

- Seanad: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (13 Dec 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I wish to speak to section 70(4). That has the same language, and states that "as soon as practicable after a copy of the annual report is submitted to him or her under subsection (1) cause a copy of it to be laid before each House of the Oireachtas". Again, I think it might be an idea to put in a timeframe there. The phrase "as soon as practicable" can mean anything to anyone, and given...

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: On the annual report and its publication, could the Minister confirm that the report will be published both in English and Irish? There have been a number of issues over the years of various Government bodies and different organisations not publishing reports in the two languages. There have been particular issues within An Garda Síochána and the use of Irish and not providing...

- Seanad: Hypothermia Scalp Cooling Therapy: Motion [Private Members] (13 Dec 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I thank Senators O'Reilly and Garvey for bringing this excellent motion. I am very happy to speak on it. Some very good points have been set out. It is clear that prevention is better than cure. It is incredible to think that when somebody is faced with a life-and-death situation like cancer, the most upsetting thing is hair loss. This is because it is so visible and makes people feel...
