- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Ivana Bacik: That is a very good point. I anticipate Senator Warfield would like to come in on that. Does that finish Senator O'Reilly's contribution?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Ivana Bacik: Absolutely. We will have time for a second round.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Ivana Bacik: That is very interesting.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Ivana Bacik: That is really important, is it not? Does Ms Neville want to come back on that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Ivana Bacik: By the way, I did not realise Senator O'Reilly was a home educator.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Ivana Bacik: I do not know who would like to respond on that. I am conscious recommendation 31 of the assembly relates to gender stereotyping in media under this heading.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Ivana Bacik: I thank Ms Exton. I have other colleagues indicating. I might go to those and then Mr. Byrne might pick up, or, if she wishes, Ms Neville, on some points that Senator Pauline O'Reilly has raised. Deputy Clarke wanted to come back in, and then Senator Regina Doherty, who is joining us on Teams.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Ivana Bacik: I am conscious we have other colleagues wanting to come in, so I might move on. Again, I will come back to Mr. Byrne in the next round, if that is okay. I call Senator Doherty, who will be followed by Deputy Carroll MacNeill.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Ivana Bacik: I will go to Mr. Byrne first because I am conscious he missed out on the last round. The proposed gender in education module might be relevant to Senator Doherty's question too.

Ivana Bacik: I thank Ms Exton. It is great to get insights that are directly from the classroom from her and Ms Neville.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Ivana Bacik: It is a huge concern for us. We dealt with the module on sexual- and gender-based violence already. Clearly, this cuts into that. I am conscious Senator Higgins wants to come in. I thank Ms Exton and Ms Neville for sharing those insights with us. As the mother of teen daughters, it is chilling to hear about and to know what is going on at school level. There is a great deal, as Ms...

Ivana Bacik: There is a lot there. We will go first to Mr. Byrne. Those first questions were around the research on co-educational schools. That was a question I was going to ask, so I am delighted Senator Higgins raised it. I have discussed it with Deputy Ó Ríordáin many times in the context of his Bill to phase out single-sex schools. The low number of what we strangely call...

Ivana Bacik: The Senator has another minor point.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Ivana Bacik: Perhaps we should all be more pushy. I am joking and that is in itself a gendered word of course as well.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Ivana Bacik: Perhaps Mr. Byrne can comment on that briefly.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Ivana Bacik: The witnesses can probably see that we could sit and talk about this all day. We are all passionate about gender equality and about the Citizens’ Assembly recommendation but, in particular, about tackling discrimination and tackling stereotypes in education. We are very grateful to them for coming in today and also for giving us the benefit of the submissions and the opening...

Ivana Bacik: I certainly support that call, which is very important. I seek statements over the course of the next few days in this House on delays in the processing of passport applications. I am not the only Deputy who has been inundated with calls, emails and other forms of contact from distressed constituents because of lengthy delays in the processing of passports, in many cases for urgent...

Ivana Bacik: It is a question of the impact on people.
