Sharon Keogan: It is disgusting.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)
Sharon Keogan: An election must be very imminent. I do not see a Fine Gael Member in the House. They must know something the rest of us do not.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)
Sharon Keogan: I am just saying. Leader, I am getting the run-around. It is not often I get the run-around from Ministers but I am getting it, on a very serious issue. Maybe the Leader's intervention might help me to get the matter resolved. A gentleman who is blind is not entitled to a primary medical certificate, which means he is excluded from the disabled drivers and passengers scheme. Vision...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Oct 2024)
Sharon Keogan: I also oppose the Order of Business this afternoon. The issue in respect of the identity cards of citizens of this country has been overlooked this morning and has been taken without debate. There is also the issue in respect of the hate crime legislation. Having that guillotined today is really unnecessary. We need more time on it. It is going to open a Pandora's box if we do not debate...

- Seanad: Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Oct 2024)
Sharon Keogan: They are all being discussed together but I have quite a long list of amendments so I want to try to get in as many as I can. On amendment No. 5, the current definition of "hatred" that exists is too loose. The current definition gives too much power to the gardaí, the DPP and the Judiciary. If it came to something like the trans issue, a person could be convicted whether they are...

- Seanad: Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Oct 2024)
Sharon Keogan: The Bill currently lacks a clear definition of hate and incitement to hate or violence, which are central to its purpose. By leaving these terms undefined, the legislation risks creating ambiguity in its application, leading to potential challenges in enforcement, interpretation and legal scrutiny. This amendment seeks to address this gap by providing a clear and precise definition of...
