Sharon Keogan: I would like the Ministers for Finance and Agriculture, Food and the Marine to come to the House for a debate about what Ireland is doing to prepare for a possible recession.

The chief executive of...

I raised the issue in March in this House about the state of telemedicine provisions for abortion in Ireland and the risk surrounding its operation. Telemedicine abortion was introduced in March...

Sharon Keogan: I was not expecting anything else from the Department, to tell the truth. I am very disappointed. I understand the review is ongoing.

- Seanad: Carbon Policy: Motion (19 May 2022)
Sharon Keogan: I thank the majority of my colleagues for engaging with my motion and the respectful debate we had until our last speaker. I did not consider my motion to be "muck", and no Senator who puts down a motion should have it so described. It is disrespectful.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy: Preventing the Sale, Exploitation and Trafficking of Children: Discussion (19 May 2022)
Sharon Keogan: Good morning to Ms de Boer-Buquicchio. I thank her for coming here. Much of the discussion of this committee has treated commercial international surrogacy as a fait accompli; that it does and will occur and we must legislate around it. I must say the Verona principles paint a stark picture of the closeness of the practice of commercial international surrogacy with the sale of children....

I have read the statement and I do not know how many times in the document I have read references to "child selling", "transfer of the child", and "sale of the child". That is a massive worry for me. Article 2 of the CRC clearly refers to the...
