An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Sep 2025)

Marie Sherlock: As has been said previously, there is a 17-year-old boy in the Mater in a critical condition because of a vicious stabbing on Sunday night. Earlier this year, an 11-year-old was stabbed by another school pupil and the horrible reality across many of our communities is that knife crime and the carrying of knives is very real. Unfortunately, in the communities I represent in the inner city,...

School Transport: Statements (23 Sep 2025)

Marie Sherlock: Obviously, the Minister of State is hearing a lot of stories today about the failures within the school transport scheme. Every year at this time of the year, we sound like a broken record relaying these stories to the Minister of the day. As my colleague, Deputy Wall, relayed, it seems this year is the worst year we have seen in a long time. I wish to relay the story of Jade Black and...

Child Poverty and Homelessness: Motion [Private Members] (24 Sep 2025)

Marie Sherlock: I second this motion and pay tribute to my colleague, Deputy Wall, and the rest of my colleagues for bringing it forward. Almost 250,000 children in this country live in poverty. That is one in five children living in poverty. That is a damning indictment of a Government of a country, which this year can boast that among EU member states it has the healthiest set of public finances, the...

Use of Vapes and Nicotine Products by Young People and Adolescents: Statements (24 Sep 2025)

Marie Sherlock: I very much welcome today's statements. There is an irony that so much effort has gone into trying to reduce smoking rates in this country over the past two decades. We proudly talk about the smoking ban in commercial places. A lot of money has been spent by the HSE. There is a target for 2025 of a rate of less than 5% of the population smoking, but we know approximately 18% are still...

Committee on Drugs Use: Family Supports: Discussion (25 Sep 2025)

Marie Sherlock: A huge thanks goes to the six organisations for being here today. I have three questions. I will put them out and then witnesses can decide how to respond. With regard to family supports, it is about the network services that are there. Obviously, it is hugely important that funding and recognition of the work the witnesses should increase. I am interested to hear the witnesses’...

Committee on Drugs Use: Family Supports: Discussion (25 Sep 2025)

Marie Sherlock: First, to clarify something I said earlier that might have come across rather clumsily, I am really conscious addiction does not discriminate. My question earlier was about the circumstances upon which a woman would need to go into a service with her children and I did not mean to get into profiling but just wanted to understand why. The question was addressed with regard to risk. I want...

Committee on Drugs Use: Family Supports: Discussion (25 Sep 2025)

Marie Sherlock: That is great to hear because my own sense is that we do not have consistency across the country on that. We see different policies, for example with the band A exception on social grounds and the eligibility for that. There is a bit of chicken and egg here. Because there is so little supply the bar almost has to be set all the higher for the most extreme of cases. It is about the...
