Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Challenges facing Women in Sport: Discussion (15 Dec 2021)

Imelda Munster: A large group of women sent a letter to the Minister of State.

They had several requests, one of which was that the Minister of State request oversight of the ongoing reviews to make sure the findings are transparent. They also want the...

Imelda Munster: Ms O'Connor referred earlier to the boards and mentioned that there were no term limits on board membership, which can mean no opportunities for changing board membership and, therefore, less chance of a female member being voted onto a board. Will she expand on that? Is it the case that there are governing bodies with no term limits on board memberships?

Gender-based Violence: Motion [Private Members] (19 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: I only have a couple of minutes. It is certainly not enough time to speak to the enormity of the problem of violence against women in Ireland. First, I wish to give my sincere condolences to the family of Ashling Murphy and to her partner and friends. Their loss is unimaginable and we are all thinking of them at this very difficult time. Since Ashling was murdered, we have been hearing...

Imelda Munster: Could the Minister outline who will make up the expert group and when it will begin its work? In terms of the timeline, will the group's work affect the passing of the Bill? Will there be a delay? The Minister will also be aware that the joint committee flagged that the lack of the individual complaints mechanism was a major deficiency in the general scheme of the Bill. There was a...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Legislative Measures (20 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: How will that delay affect the timeline for the passage of the Bill? The Minister has said we may have to regulate on an EU basis. Has that been absolutely confirmed? Even if that is the case, it should not prevent us from going forward with this.
