Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Safeguarding Policies and Procedures within the Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (24 Sep 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: I cannot get any answers about safeguarding policies and when or whether they were instigated, so I am wondering about trust.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Safeguarding Policies and Procedures within the Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (24 Sep 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: I thank the Cathaoirleach. I request that we, as a committee, ask other NGBs to let us know what is standard in relation to concerns and complaints. I suggest including Swim Ireland in this, given that it has a history of sexual abuse and sexual scandals. I would like a clearer picture on the semantics between "concern" and "complaints".

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Safeguarding Policies and Procedures within the Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (24 Sep 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: My next question is for Mr. Courell and Ms Rafferty. At best, this is a learning experience for them as executives but at worst they have created more trauma, more hurt and more pain for the women at the centre of this. Talking about the difference between complaints and concerns is a red herring. We are not talking about a set of stolen footballs. We are talking about widespread historic...

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: No, he said in July 2024 in his media statement - I was going to say circus - it was harrowing, and it was-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Safeguarding Policies and Procedures within the Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (24 Sep 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: -----but it was harrowing in 2023, so why did he not instigate Raiseaconcern in May 2023 if he really wanted to do the right thing?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Safeguarding Policies and Procedures within the Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (24 Sep 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: That is fair.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Safeguarding Policies and Procedures within the Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (24 Sep 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: I am sorry; I am going to have to stop Mr. Courell. He wrote a press release preparing for his response and circulated it and Ms Rafferty said that was grand and keeps the FAI safe for now. That was in May 2023. There was no concern there for the women, absolutely none. It was enough of a concern to Mr. Courell, and it was not a rumour. It was more than a rumour to Mr. Courell because he...

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: Was Cathal Dervan offered extra money in his WRC case to make sure those concerns were not made public?

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó (Atógáil) - Order of Business (Resumed) (30 Sep 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: Bhí sé iontach an tacaíocht ar fad maidir leis an nGaeilge agus an chraoltóireacht trí mheán na Gaeilge a chloisteáil mar is é sin atá ar intinn agam a phlé tráthnóna. Ba mhaith liom aird a tharraingt ar an éiginteacht atá ann go fóill mar gheall ar sheirbhís nuachta neamhspleách do TG4. In 2022, ghlac an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish-Speaking Community: Teagasc agus Stádas na Gaeilge sna hInstitiúidí Tríú Leibhéal: Plé (Atógáil) (30 Sep 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: Tuigim go bhfuil sé deacair polasaí fadtéarmach a athrú go tobann, ach ní dóigh liom gur fadhb thobann atá anseo. Tá sé stairiúil freisin. Luaigh mo chomhghleacaí líon na ndaoine atá ag freastal ar bhunscoileanna agus meánscoileanna lán-Ghaeilge. Tá na daoine ann le Gaeilge. D'fhreastail mise ar bhunscoil...

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: Cén céatadán a thug na finnéithe ag an tús? An bhfuil na daoine a dhéanann modúl trí Ghaeilge san áireamh sa 0.68% nó an é sin líon na ndaoine a dhéanann oideachas iomlán trí Ghaeilge? Tá líon na ndaoine ag staidéar trí mheán na Gaeilge níos lú fós.

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: Gach seans go mbeidh inspreagadh de dhíth ón Roinn or an incentive do na hollscoileanna. Sin an pointe a theastaigh uaim a chur chun cinn.

Committee on Drugs Use: Community Supports: Discussion (2 Oct 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: I am conscious that we have nine months to write a report, which is too long to wait to request a very simple and common sense approach to an escalating problem that has many social and other tentacles. I am on two other committees. Other committees have written to various Ministers and Departments as a collective and made a request. I suggest that at this point the committee make a request...
