- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: British Government Legacy Proposals: Discussion (7 Jul 2022)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I greatly appreciate the witnesses taking the time to set that out. It is important to re-establish facts where we have the opportunity. I am really interested in comparative data and the fact that the witnesses have done an analysis of the different international processes and how this process rates against the others. I am curious about the structure of the assessments. Maybe we can talk...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Jul 2022)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the witnesses for their attendance. I was struck by Ms Honan's comment that teachers reflect on themselves and their own biases, which is a huge part of the work that we are trying to do.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Yes, Dr. Sullivan made that point earlier. It is the first time that I have heard Covid cited as a response to this question.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I acknowledge what has been said. I respect the fact that the NCCA has lost staff, as well as on an administrative basis, to schools and so on. I sit on range of sectoral committees, including the Joint Committee on Justice and the Committee of Public Accounts, where we deal with all State bodies and entities that perform difficult functions over time. I find the timelines for this matter...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I will speak as quickly as I can. I wish to highlight the childcare pressures in my constituency. I know of a 41-year-old professional woman who has a four-and-a-half-month-old baby. If she gets a childcare place for her baby in order for her to return to work, it will cost her between €1,200 and €1,300 per month. She is a single mother who gets the one-parent family...
