Emer Currie (Dublin West, Fine Gael)

I am going to have to go in five minutes so I will try to make this quick. I completely agree with Ms Walsh that we have a way to go when it comes to the attitude, culture and awareness of rights and responsibilities. She is right it is about getting the balance between prevention and enforcement across the board. Does she feel that with the storm clouds due to tariffs and trade this may not get the attention it requires, even though it is because of the impact on poverty that it needs to be addressed now and that the same significance should be attached to this moment in relation to not just housekeeping but the upgrading of our equality laws?
