- Seanad: Local Government Matters and City and County Councillors: Motion [Private Members] (6 Dec 2023)
Sharon Keogan: I thank the Minister of State so much for coming in here this evening to deal with this motion. I thank him for not opposing the motion as well. Could we have a copy of his speech? I know that most of it was off the cuff but that would be excellent so we can circulate it to our councillors around the country. I thank the Government parties for not opposing this motion. I thank the 13...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Schools Building Projects (7 Dec 2023)
Sharon Keogan: I welcome the Minister of State. I am looking for an update on what assessment of need has been carried out by the Department of Education with regard to a new secondary school for the Duleek area. More than a year and a half ago I laid out a case for a new secondary school, in a Commencement matter which was answered by Deputy English. Figures from the Central Statistics Office, CSO,...

Sharon Keogan: This is totally disappointing for the people of Duleek and the surrounding area, unless we consider putting a Gaelscoil there. According to what the Minister of State said, the figures we have and the downward population trend will not allow for the provision of a post-primary school in the area. The schools being provided in the Drogheda area include the Educate Together school over in...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Dec 2023)
Sharon Keogan: I raise the issue of ESB electricity outages. This is not just happening in my town but throughout the country. It is happening on Saturdays, when businesses cannot operate, and during lunch times. There is no compensation for these businesses. If this were an Irish Water outage, that company would compensate its business customers. The ESB, however, does not. This is wrong. How can...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2023)
Sharon Keogan: Would the Minister like to make a statement regarding Twitter and what it has said? I do not know if anyone asked that question already. Will the Minister give me a definition of what she considers the far right? Regarding the attestations taking place, on 29 November on the Fine Gael website, there was a post saying that the Minister for Justice, Deputy Helen McEntee, had fast tracked...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Dec 2023)
Sharon Keogan: I raise the issue of Ireland's future and what the Government’s plans for it are. Two areas of importance relate to the brain drain and birthrates. It is no secret that many Irish people and foreign nationals are educated in Ireland at the taxpayers' expense only to move abroad and take their education, experience and social capital elsewhere. While, of course, the free legal...

Sharon Keogan: I thank Senator Chambers for poking us all on this particular issue. The Garda Reserve is a very valuable resource in this country that is absolutely not tapped into. I thank Senator Boyhan for his contribution. This is an issue that Senator McDowell has been raising for the last number of years and nothing has been done - absolutely nothing has been done on this. The Garda Commissioner...
