Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety, Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Marie Sherlock: That engagement and that filtering process requires a lot of engagement from a TikTok user. Some very young users, and even older users as well, would not necessarily be able to navigate that. We are very much reliant on individuals. I am almost out of time but I have one other question that I would like to ask after Google has answered this question.

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Schools Building Projects (28 Nov 2023)

Marie Sherlock: My question relates to Clonturk Community College on the Swords Road in Dublin 9. To give some background, this is a fantastic school which opened in 2016. In the short intervening period it has grown to 920 pupils and by next September, just eight years after opening, it will be a 1,000-pupil school. It is a great credit to the principal, the school staff and the entire school community...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Schools Building Projects (28 Nov 2023)

Marie Sherlock: I thank the Minister of State. In particular, there are dates in his response that are to be welcomed in terms of the tender process for the design team in Q1 of 2024. My experience with other schools has been that following the appointment of the design team, we do not see fixed dates set down by the Department, or there is a reluctance by the Department to set down fixed dates as to when...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Nov 2023)

Like so many others who live very close to the inner city of Dublin and who know many who attend the school and crèche where the young kids were...

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...

Seanad: Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2023)

Marie Sherlock: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. I thank Fianna Fáil for bringing forward this important motion. As the Minister of State knows, the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment has already published a report on the impact of artificial intelligence within enterprise and workplaces and has issued a set of recommendations. That follows on from a series of...
