- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Nov 2017)
Catherine Noone: I support Senators Colm Burke and Keith Swanick on the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill, my views on which are well documented. Does the Leader have any idea as to when it will proceed to Report Stage? I refer to social media and the need for legislation to deal with many of the issues that arise in that regard. They are evolving and we are behind the curve in legislating to deal with many...

- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Nov 2017)
Catherine Noone: It is an issue on which we must stand up and be counted. It will get completely out of control if it is not called out in some way. I apologise to the Cathaoirleach, but I have not been able to get here for a while and briefly wish to raise another point. I attended the launch of the National Women's Council of Ireland's document, Every Woman. It is a very important one. I will not go...

- Seanad: Councillors' Conditions: Statements (16 Nov 2017)
Catherine Noone: -----he has made great strides. As someone who previously served as a Senator - for two terms - and a councillor, he is very well placed to make changes in this area. That must be acknowledged. It is rare that I agree with Senator Gerard Craughwell, but I did so when he mentioned maternity leave. Obviously, that issue is close to most women's hearts. A problem exists in this regard. We...
- Seanad: Order of Business (22 Nov 2017)
Catherine Noone: I agree with Senator Mulherin's comments in which she articulated the nub of the issue very well. It is the multiples that are happy with the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill and for good reason. The fact that the Minister is willing to compromise in regard to the lower percentage of sales is to be welcomed. These loss-leaders, which is effectively what they are, are drawing people in. They...

Deputies Anne Rabbitte and Catherine Murphy raised the issue and the latter suggested we have this discussion. The committee agreed. I intend that this be kept to as short a time as possible bearing in mind that we have witnesses to...

Catherine Noone: I am trying to ensure members have ample time by ensuring that this discussion is no longer than it needs to be, but I do not intend to have a shorter debate than is necessary. I am just bearing in mind that it is necessary for that witness to get to the airport. It is a matter of practicality.
