Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Defence Forces (21 Sep 2021)

Lisa Chambers: I am sharing time with Senator O'Loughlin. We will take two minutes each. The issue I want to raise relates to the documentary "Women of Honour" broadcast on RTÉ's "Saturday with Katie Hannon" programme a couple of weeks ago.

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Defence Forces (21 Sep 2021)

Lisa Chambers: I very much welcome the fact there will be a meeting this week. Ultimately, those involved in "Women of Honour" will decide whether they are happy with the terms of reference and the review group that has been set up.

Seanad: Bullying and Sexual Harassment in Third Level Institutions: Motion (21 Sep 2021)

Lisa Chambers: I welcome the Minister to the Chamber. I congratulate Senator Ruane on bringing the debate to the House. It is important that we have this conversation.

The issue is getting worse. There is far more aggression...

Lisa Chambers: I apologise to members and to the Commissioner. The Seanad is sitting this morning so I have been in the Chamber and I was listening with my headphones, but if I have missed bits and if the Commissioner has answered questions I am about to ask, she can feel free to step over them.
