- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (15 Nov 2023)
Marie Sherlock: On the fact that the regulations have not yet been transposed, can Dr. Coates elaborate on that very quickly? I understood that all the regulations were transposed in December 2021 or in 2022. The Department states here that they are being finalised. I ask for an update on that.

Marie Sherlock: That would be much appreciated. I thank the Chair.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (15 Nov 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I am sure it would. I do not know if Dr. Coates said during Covid or back in 2014 because it was in 2014 that I sat on that body, not during Covid. The key point is that while there have been reports and there has been a lot of talk, we have not seen any substantial change in the numbers of persons with a disability in the workplace. It remains a fact, as I understand it, that Ireland has...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Nov 2023)
Marie Sherlock: Last Friday, we got word that Ireland is one of three countries the European Commission is referring to the European Court of Justice for failure to implement the Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Act which was enacted by both the Dáil and Seanad in April of this year. The Labour Party has previously been critical that seven months since the enactment of that Bill, the...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Disabilities Assessments (22 Nov 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, for coming to the Chamber. My question this morning relates to the establishment of the assessment hub in CHO 9 on the north side of Dublin. As the Minister of State is all too aware, when it comes to children with additional needs in this country, the word that appears in almost every single conversation is “wait”. There are...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Disabilities Assessments (22 Nov 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I thank the Minister of State for her comprehensive response, and for her last comment. She hit the nail on the head with regard to the challenges many of us, as public representatives, daily come across. I talked about the lack of joined-up thinking between education and our health system. I am grateful for the detail provided by the Minister of State. One of my outstanding questions...
- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I thank the Minister of State and all the officials here today. I want to ask first about the transposition of directives. The Minister of State talked about two directives that were due to be transposed this year being outstanding. What is the number for the other overdue directives? I am sorry, I am clumsy in asking the question. What is the total number of overdue directives?

- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Marie Sherlock: We will not necessarily talk about the committee because I think it is about the statutory instruments in particular. Certainly the ambition to have a zero rate for overdue transpositions would be very welcome. I want to ask about last Friday. The European Commission issued a communication about the directive on work-life balance. That is now 15 months overdue. Can the Minister of State...

- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I am sorry, I do not want to interrupt. I know the detail of the directive. As you said, you do not have oversight over the detail of the Bill. What you are in charge of is the transposition of the entirety of the directive.

- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
