Progressing Disability Services: Discussion (2 Jun 2022) Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: All of us are aware parents are at breaking point. There is no question about it. I have spoken to many parents in my area. The lack of services and the effect this has on children has affected the parents. We are inclined to speak about Covid and bring everything back to it. This is unacceptable. I met with representatives of CHO 5 recently and I had a very good discussion on the...

- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth
Progressing Disability Services: Discussion (2 Jun 2022) Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: That is where I disagree. That is where I think we are falling down. There are too many different Departments involved.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy: Prevention of the Exploitation or Coercion of Surrogates and Intending Parents: Discussion (2 Jun 2022)
Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I too thank all the witnesses, in particular Ms O'Shea and Ms Reid. I think there was not a dry eye in the room. It was lovely to hear their stories. My first question, though, is to Ms Cohen. I was interested in her opening statement. Does she feel that surrogates living in poor or socio-economically disadvantaged countries are unable to make informed decisions? What does she feel...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I thank Ms Cohen. My next question is for IFCA. How would it suggest the Government and potential AHR regulators set up counselling for intending families, especially those who are on the road to surrogacy? This is a question I have been asked several times. What sort of budget would be required for such a service?
