- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Jun 2022)
Sharon Keogan: I raise two very important issues. Tomorrow is 1 July, when Irish hospitals traditionally change their doctors. It happens because hospitals are massive training locations. You do a year as an intern and when that year is done you move to the next level of training, and so on. Tomorrow, for the first time in the history of Irish medicine, the hospital system finds itself short of...

One of the first issues I spoke about when I became a member of this committee was having a bottom-up approach when it comes to Europe. I have very much advocated for a European strategic policy committee, SPC, for every local authority, which is important, and for there to be a European...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Jul 2022)
Sharon Keogan: The recent announcement by the US Supreme Court in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case is a positive one as it finally ends the wrong-headed Roe v. Wade judgment of 1973 which inferred a constitutional right to abortion under the heading of a right to privacy. That was a legal aberration from the beginning, one that had an extremely negative impact on human rights and...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Jul 2022)
Sharon Keogan: I urge the Leader to re-examine the schedule for next week. There is not enough time for the Bill on children with special educational needs. One hour is not enough to debate such an important issue. Earlier this week it was revealed via documents released through a freedom of information request that multiple senior HSE managers have serious concerns with the medical advice being given to...

Sharon Keogan: The issue is that while other medical bodies, such as the National Gender Service, will medically intervene to treat gender dysphoria only after a patient has undergone a detailed psychiatric assessment, TENI has repeatedly advocated for bypassing this fundamental safeguard in favour of an alternative online service. Regarding a detailed psychiatric assessment and a time-consuming and...

Sharon Keogan: I love to see legislation like this come before the House, legislation that is before us as a direct response to a problem we see in our country and how things are being done. The area of special education in our schools is a sensitive one. It is an area where we might be slow to act for fear of getting it wrong, but it is also an area that is so essential and so deeply personal to the...
