- Seanad: Bullying and Sexual Harassment in Third Level Institutions: Motion (21 Sep 2021)
Joe O'Reilly: I thank the Cathaoirleach for the opportunity to speak at relatively late notice. I was distracted elsewhere. At the outset, I wish to welcome the Minister and to say in a genuinely non-partisan and objective way, which I hope people will recognise, that he is the first person in public life in a long time that I am aware of to confront this issue head-on, bring it into the public domain...

Joe O'Reilly: Sula dtosaíonn an chéad chainteoir, gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach as ucht a fhocal deasa níos luaithe.

Is tionscnamh tábhachtach dearfach...
- Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Members of the European Parliament (22 Sep 2021)
Joe O'Reilly: I thank Senator Chambers for those remarks. We will wait for all the statements of Members to be made before the MEPs can incorporate their responses to that later into subsequent remarks.

It is...

- Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Members of the European Parliament (22 Sep 2021)
Joe O'Reilly: The MEPs will have summation time at the end in which they might address the global questions being raised by the leaders. We will have the specific questions before then. They will also raise some of the same subjects. Our next speaker is a very distinguished member of the Seanad who was referred to by Ms Walsh, namely Senator Black. She is speaking on behalf of the Civil Engagement Group.
- Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Members of the European Parliament (22 Sep 2021)
Joe O'Reilly: I thank Senator Black for that provocative and interesting contribution. I now move to questions and ask our MEPs if they might agree to hold back on the global themes until their concluding remarks. Perhaps they might answer the interlinking specific questions now. They will have two minutes to do that. Before inviting questions, I thank our colleagues for their contributions. Our MEPs...

- Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Members of the European Parliament (22 Sep 2021)
Joe O'Reilly: It struck me as Senator McGreehan asked her question that we have an excellent attendance of colleagues and a real engagement by our two MEPs. I wonder if this will get the level of media attention that would be upon us were it to be otherwise. Let us hope that it will. We will start again with Ms Walsh.
