Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Rights-Based Care for People with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Nov 2023)

Eileen Flynn: I attended last week's meeting. There is no solution when it comes to good-quality mental health services for young people with disabilities. To the best of my knowledge, CAMHS continues to fail young people with disabilities, particularly autistic children. Last week, we heard from the head of the Mental Health Commission who said that CAMHS was discriminating against autistic children....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Article 23 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)

Eileen Flynn: I am involved in women's rights, including the rights of Traveller women, and women from other ethnic minorities. You see very few women with disabilities involved in the women's movement in Ireland. We want a women's movement and gender equality for women but for which women? Having listened to the witnesses the lack of engagement was really driven home to me. It is not the fault of...

Eileen Flynn: I work closely with Nem. It would be brilliant if I could get those answers because it is about having them in the report as recommendations. I thank each and every one of our guests for coming in. This is what is remarkable about this committee. It shows that Traveller women and disabled women, when it comes to inequalities, would have so much in common.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Nov 2023)

Eileen Flynn: Last Thursday was an absolute nightmare for the whole of the country.I picked Billie up from crèche and, like every other mother in the country, I hugged her that little bit tighter. That could have been anybody's child. What happened last week could have happened in any part of the country. It was very unfortunate. The events of last Thursday night were driven by hatred,...

Eileen Flynn: I second the amendment.

Seanad: Recent Violence in Dublin City Centre: Motion (29 Nov 2023)

Eileen Flynn: Neither I nor Senator Ruane are calling for the Minister to resign. I want to begin by getting the issue of the far right out of the way. It is led by one or two men and the bigger the donkey, the heavier the load. When I came into this House in 2020, I remember the fear out there around the Covid protests and the anti-vaccine protests. I got involved then with the Hope and Courage...

Seanad: Recent Violence in Dublin City Centre: Motion (29 Nov 2023)

Eileen Flynn: That is not the answer. We need to have an honest conversation and we must tackle the far right. One of the questions on last night's episode of "The Late Debate" asked how the Garda failed. That failure was the result of the policies and structures we have in place. The Garda did not know what it was doing that night. It was a shock and we were not prepared for it. What would we do if,...

Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Traveller Accommodation (30 Nov 2023)

Eileen Flynn: It is not that Travellers do not want to have a relationship with the local authority or with TDs, it is just that the level of trust is not there due to continuous failures for Travellers in services. It is not that the community does not want those relationships - people do want them - but if they see generations before them being failed or constantly being let down that is where the...

Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Traveller Accommodation (30 Nov 2023)

Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Traveller Accommodation (30 Nov 2023)

Eileen Flynn: It is very important to state that all the issues are interlinked. With regard to modular homes, it is down to a choice. Many members of the Traveller community would not chose them and it is important that we remember this today. It is down to personal choice. When we speak about homes-----
