- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) (18 Apr 2023)
Eileen Flynn: Under the original head of Bill proposed by the Minister of State's Department, a nominee from the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission was included in the membership layout. The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission understood that having it as the nomination body for one of the lay positions was a guaranteed in-build of human rights and equality expertise within the layout of...
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) (18 Apr 2023)
Eileen Flynn: This is a little like our political system. We need the people in our courts to look like us and to be from our communities as well. I understand that having IHREC would play a role in that too. Where is the black judge in Irish society? Where is the judge who is a member of the Traveller community? We know many people within our community have gone on and practised law and have been...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Apr 2023)
Eileen Flynn: I have a general question on leaving certificate reform. How do people think that should look in terms of subjects? If we reformed the leaving certificate, what would science and maths look like? When we talk about STEM, in my opinion, we are talking about gender equality and equality in general. I see very little opportunity for people from minority groups. Here I am again at the Joint...

Eileen Flynn: Did Professor Venkat wish to come in on that?
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 May 2023)
Eileen Flynn: My contribution will lead on to a point I am trying to make around racism and discrimination. I love working here. I have met friends who I would have thought were enemies, if you like, before I came in. I have a good relationship with the majority of other Members. I genuinely feel I am an equal Member in this House who is able to vote and get up and have my say. Last night, I got a...

Eileen Flynn: Would the Senator say the same about Russia and Ukraine?
- Seanad: Electoral Reform (Amendment) and Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (10 May 2023)
Eileen Flynn: I thank the Minister of State for being here today. Having free transport on election day is a no-brainer. It will create the opportunity for some people from very poor communities to get out and vote. That is a no-brainer. Today, however, I will focus on the issue of young people being able to vote. Much of the time, we undermine our young people. We do not value our young people's...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (16 May 2023)
Eileen Flynn: Mr. Harris will know that 38% of autistic people still experience discrimination and 61% are on waiting lists for access to services. That 61% really strikes me. It should never be the case that 61% of people are, in my opinion, denied access to mental health services. How is that happening in today's society? I brought up a few times at this committee the likes of Jigsaw not working with...
