Catherine Noone: It might seem like I am cutting off the witnesses as they respond to me. I will have to wait until the second round to ask the rest of my questions. Maybe the Chair will allow me to ask one more question at this point.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: HIQA Report: Engagement with Tusla (20 Jun 2018)
Catherine Noone: It relates to the point that was made by Senator Clifford-Lee with regard to social workers. Given the rate of turnover, I find it hard to believe there is no morale issue. I do not get what the difficulty is when it comes to social workers. There is an issue when it comes to front-line workers. The primary managers within Tusla are responsible for putting structures and protocols in...

- Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jun 2018)
Catherine Noone: I wholeheartedly agree with what Senator Mac Lochlainn has said about the dumping issue. We need to adopt a cross-party view on the environment as a whole.Notwithstanding the issue pointed out by the Senator earlier, we have an uneducated population when it comes to the environment. That is reflected in how we are performing internationally on the environment. So much more needs to be...

Catherine Noone: I appreciate that a positive message might work better but it probably would be no harm, given how harmful those drinks have been proven to be in many studies, to have an awareness campaign or something similar within the GAA because it is uniquely positioned to do that. It would be great for children to understand at that early age that these types of sugar-laden, high-caffeine drinks...
