- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2024)
Sharon Keogan: Once again, I call for a further debate on Ireland's migration policies. Tonight, in the Dáil, the Government will push through the EU migration and asylum pact.

The key findings of the paper highlight the sharp increase in overall crime, particular...

- Seanad: Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (20 Jun 2024)
Sharon Keogan: I am disappointed that the Minister will not accept amendment No. 15. I have been a foster parent over the years and I can tell him that sexual crimes against children are not exclusive to men; they also applies in the case of women. It is disturbing that he will not accept that, particularly in the context of someone who has been convicted of a crime against a child. If the Minister is...
- Seanad: Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (20 Jun 2024)
Sharon Keogan: I find the accusation made by the Senator really unwarranted. Unlike many Members of the Seanad I have had 122 children in my care over the years and many of them were victims of child sexual abuse perpetrated on them not just by somebody male in their family but also by somebody female in their family. That amendment was tabled with only the interest of the child in mind. I have stood...
