Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Cross-Border Healthcare Directive: Discussion (30 Sep 2021)

Lisa Chambers: Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are having some technical difficulties this morning. This means the committee is not in a position to broadcast a public meeting with the contributions from our witnesses. With this in mind, it is not appropriate to continue this morning's meeting. I offer my sincere apologies to our witnesses, to the public and to our members. We are looking to...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Oct 2021)

Lisa Chambers: As today is budget day, I will have an opportunity to address the House later on my views on the budget that has just been announced. I wish to raise two items on the Order of Business. The first is a radio interview I heard as I was driving to Leinster House. I am not sure if other colleagues heard it. One of my colleagues beside me is nodding. It was the story of a young boy, Adam...

Seanad: Budget 2022: Statements (12 Oct 2021)

Lisa Chambers: I welcome the Minister of State to the Chamber. It is incredible that, in budget 2022, we are discussing the spending of such large amounts of money across so many sectors when we are still coming out of the pandemic and recovering from what has been an extraordinarily difficult time for Ireland. Given that there are other jurisdictions very close to ours that are looking at their budgets...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Oct 2021)

Lisa Chambers: The first comment was from Senator O'Loughlin. She referenced the Jacob family. I pay my respects to the family and hope they get Deirdre back. It is right and proper we show solidarity in this House for their long suffering. The Senator also mentioned the national heritage site proposal at the Curragh. I agree it is a unique site and deserves to be protected. With regard to the Yellow...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Dispute Resolution Mechanism: Discussion (12 Oct 2021)

Lisa Chambers: I thank Ms Collins. I am sure she is being modest. I wish her the best of luck in her new role. It is great to have this opportunity to engage with her, Ms Farrell and Mr. Gardner. We did not foresee when we set up this meeting that it would be so timely. We are all acutely aware of the political happenings related to this. We want to be cautious and make sure that we do not do anything...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Dispute Resolution Mechanism: Discussion (12 Oct 2021)

Lisa Chambers: Can Mr. Gardner talk us through the committees? There is the joint committee and the specialist committee on the protocol itself. In the last number of weeks, practically, how have they interacted? How does the joint committee interact with the specialist committee? How does that work? This is probably the first time it has been tested to this degree.

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Dispute Resolution Mechanism: Discussion (12 Oct 2021)

Is there a formalised process to link the specialised committee with the joint committee regarding how they interact in the context of making recommendations, or is that process still being determined?

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Dispute Resolution Mechanism: Discussion (12 Oct 2021)
