- Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development: Effect of Child-related Benefits on Child Poverty and Deprivation: ESRI (18 Jun 2025)
Catherine Ardagh: People are watching. When we hear discussions in the media around child benefit, people think some of it is going to be taken away from some people.

This is a second, top-up child benefit to those families who...
- Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development: Effect of Child-related Benefits on Child Poverty and Deprivation: ESRI (18 Jun 2025)
Catherine Ardagh: I am following on from my colleague's question about the profile of recipients. Does the research take into account the urban and rural divide, the age of the children, whether they are lone parents, or if someone in the family or that child has a disability when assessing who is eligible for the second tier?

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Catherine Ardagh: I thank all the witnesses for coming in today. I only have ten minutes so I might cut a witness off while answering questions.

Has the issue with members...

I do not know how long the deputy commissioner has been here but it is great to...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Catherine Ardagh: Would Dr. Coxon like to see a move towards more national CCTV? I do not believe the community model works. In my area in Dublin South-Central we have cameras that are run by the council, which seems to own the majority, but there is not a direct feed into the Garda station which might be four doors down. There should be a lot more interoperability between the State, whether it is the...
