Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: In the annual reports and the requirements we set regarding the gender pay gap it would be interesting to include the proportion of employees, male and female, who are opting for flexible work and make that information visible within organisations. Professor Galligan touched on the politics of the referendum on maternity leave for Teachtaí Dála and how that works, as well as the...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Professor Galligan is right about having a number of referendums. I do not know how interested people might be in a series of referendums on modernising parliament versus a series of referendums on gender equality. Are people more likely to be sympathetic to the former if we included it in the latter?

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I hope so. On social media, one of the issues arising in the Bill going through the Houses, to which Professor Galligan referred, is the capacity to require social media to have take-down orders, essentially, within a short period. CyberSafeKids argues that if a parent sees something about their child or a video that is being used to bully their child, they should be able to contact the...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am glad my colleague raised the point she did as it means I can deal with other issues. I will pick up on the point made about the balance between men and women when taking leave and returning to the workplace. Cost and pay are a major part of that but culture affects it too. Until there is a culture at senior level in commercial organisations of men freely taking leave or adopting a...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Ms O'Mahony referred to medication and CAMHS. I want to understand the practicality of that because sometimes we hear phrases such as that but it is only when we are told the full story that we really understand the impact of what is happening to people and their families. As I understand it, without asking her to divulge too much personal information, Ms O'Mahony's son takes a form of...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Sensitivity to medication can be very important, and young people change, as do their minds, their size, their weight and everything else. It was of great concern to me that Ms O'Mahony said that this medication is not being supervised. My son takes significant medication and that is supervised. Will she please explain why it is not being supervised? How often should he be seen in regard...
