Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Jul 2022)

Sharon Keogan: The recent announcement by the US Supreme Court in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case is a positive one as it finally ends the wrong-headed Roe v. Wade judgment of 1973 which inferred a constitutional right to abortion under the heading of a right to privacy. That was a legal aberration from the beginning, one that had an extremely negative impact on human rights and...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Jun 2022)

Sharon Keogan: I raise two very important issues. Tomorrow is 1 July, when Irish hospitals traditionally change their doctors. It happens because hospitals are massive training locations. You do a year as an intern and when that year is done you move to the next level of training, and so on. Tomorrow, for the first time in the history of Irish medicine, the hospital system finds itself short of...

The company behind the proposed plant has stated that the Shannon LNG terminal could be built in 12 months, and could even be built to...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Energy Infrastructure (28 Jun 2022)

Sharon Keogan: I appreciate the Minister of State’s reply. We are not just waking up to the fact Ireland has significant offshore wind potential. We have always known this. The wind has been blowing there for donkey's years; it did not start just now. That we are talking about it only now is just not good enough. We are in a very serious energy crisis. This LNG proposal could help us, as a...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Jun 2022)

Sharon Keogan: Every April, we in Duleek are blessed with a sea of purple. It is because, ten years ago next year, a family in Duleek lost their daughter through cystic fibrosis. Ann and Kevin Noone lost their daughter Kelley. We come together every year for a run in Duleek in memory of Kelley and her cousin Cathy, who also lost her life to cystic fibrosis. Both of them were teenagers. This week, I...

Sharon Keogan: I congratulate the Minister, her husband Paul and baby Michael on their great news. I wish her every good health in her pregnancy. I welcome this directive and support Ireland's opt-in to it. While we have already implemented many of the laws and provisions mandated in the directive, our show of support for this move to combat violence against women across the EU is nonetheless important....

Seanad: Neurology Nurses: Motion (22 Jun 2022)

Sharon Keogan: Before I call our next speaker, I note that, although he has now left the Chamber, Deputy McAuliffe was here earlier with Councillors Racheal Batten and Keith Connolly from his area and members of the Fianna Fáil cumainn in Dublin 9 and 12. It is always good to see other political nerds in the Chamber.
