- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion (18 May 2022)
Seán Sherlock: Sorry, I meant to refer to the inadvertent making of a false direction. Is that a possibility? I am not saying-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion (18 May 2022)
Seán Sherlock: Does that not require placing an onus on the vessel to have ice or storage facilities on board that are fit for purpose so as not to compromise the quality of the fish? Is that not placing an additional burden on the vessel thereafter or does this happen so quickly that there is no such compromising of the quality of the fish?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion (18 May 2022)
Seán Sherlock: Is this not all very surreal? Does Mr. Hayes not sometimes ask how we got to the stage in fisheries policy where we are talking about taking fish off a vessel, putting it into another tank, and then taking that tank and putting it back into the vessel again?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion (18 May 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion (18 May 2022)
Seán Sherlock: Mr. Hayes does not need to tell me about my role here. Mr. O'Mahony might explain. We are trying to get it effectively explained for the punter who is watching these proceedings.

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Courts Service (17 May 2022)
Seán Sherlock: I respect the Minister of State and the fact she does not have policy responsibility for this area. The response by the Government is not adequate for the purposes of ensuring the administration of justice, as articulated by the concerns outlined by the law officers in Youghal, by the users of the service and by the citizens. We are in a situation where a service is being taken away, even...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Courts Service (17 May 2022)
Seán Sherlock: We have to protect those women and those services.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Courts Service (17 May 2022)
Seán Sherlock: I am delighted to have the opportunity to raise this issue. The people of Youghal are very exercised about the decision of the Courts Service to close a service that is vital to people and to the administration of justice in Youghal, particularly as it relates to the victims of domestic violence. As my colleague, Deputy Stanton, said, this is about ensuring that we do not force women who...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Social Welfare Code (17 May 2022)
Seán Sherlock: It is the medical certification. If the medical certification says long Covid, then that should suffice.
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Social Welfare Code (17 May 2022)
Seán Sherlock: I thank the Minister.
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Social Welfare Code (17 May 2022)
Seán Sherlock: 70. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if her Department has engaged in research in respect of the need to devise a disability-related payment to deal with the effects of long Covid. [24811/22]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Social Welfare Code (17 May 2022)
Seán Sherlock: Has the Minister's Department engaged in research in respect of the need to devise a disability-related payment to deal with the effects of long Covid? I acknowledge the existence of the Covid-19 enhanced illness benefit payment and that it will be in place until the end of June 2022. My reason for raising this is that we seek clarity as to whether there will be continuity of that payment...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Social Welfare Code (17 May 2022)
Seán Sherlock: I thank the Minister for her response. If I interpret her correctly, I can understand her retaining the status quobecause the nature of the illness benefit is clearly defined in terms of what a person must do to meet the criteria. However, what is happening now in this country, and there is robust clinical evidence for this, is that hospitals such as Cork University Hospital, CUH, in the...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Social Welfare Code (17 May 2022)
Seán Sherlock: -----because there will have to be a recognition of long Covid as a qualifying condition.
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Social Welfare Code (17 May 2022)
Seán Sherlock: The answer to my question is "No"; that is the short answer the Minister is giving. I acknowledge that but I will continue to bang the drum on this. I am worried that there is a statistically significant cohort of persons who ordinarily will go from the enhanced payment to illness benefit, the clock will tick down the two years and then they potentially will fall off the cliff if they are...
