- Seanad: Order of Business (21 Feb 2018)
Máire Devine: I do not have good news, unfortunately. INMO Trolley Watch figures for Our Lady's Children's Hospital indicate there were three on trolleys at the beginning of the year and 11 this morning. This is really surprising given that much of the focus in recent weeks has been on waiting lists for extremely sick children. Young children with serious degenerative diseases must wait for up to ten...

- Seanad: Services for People with Disabilities: Motion (21 Feb 2018)
Máire Devine: This motion is great in principle. Listening to the experience of those living with disabilities in Ireland has increased our knowledge. I have recently been doing extensive work on well-being spaces in conjunction with the University of Limerick, TCD and UCD. The research is telling us that when a space is inclusive of all, it benefits everybody and not just those living with a...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2018)
Máire Devine: My question is similar to that of other members so I will not repeat too much. A terrible beauty is born with the Internet. I agree with having an individual Ministry because it would also involve issues such as artificial intelligence and data collection. The future will change everything, including our jobs. I refer to manual jobs and what the future will bring, be it terrible or...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2018)
Máire Devine: I think it is very important to note that child protection comes under the Department of Children and Youth Affairs and the Department of Education and Skills, but if we include well-being in the first place, then children can often protect themselves. We can let them lead the way, as well as the parents and legislators protecting them. The Minister, Deputy Bruton, spoke of expanding the...

Máire Devine: I do not know if there is a general consensus. We do not have one in the committee. We are certainly going against the flow when we hear all the organisations and individuals supporting the digital age of consent at 13. This is a discussion we will have to continue ourselves. We seem to be disrupting that consensus. I think that is healthy. It is done, as all opinions are done, in the...

Máire Devine: I thank Senator Ó Clochartaigh for organising this morning's presentation by Martin Quinn about stroke victims in Ireland. His story has been inspiring to us and he highlighted the lack of services. In Syria, eastern Ghouta has become a hell on earth with 300 people killed in the past four days. Seven hospitals have been bombed and there is deliberate targeting of civilians. It is a...
