Mary Lou McDonald: We have an epidemic of domestic violence. This morning, Women's Aid reports that last year it received its highest level of domestic abuse disclosures in its 50-year history. The figures cited in the organisation’s impact report are frightening, with more than 40,000 disclosures of abuse against women and children made in 2023. That is a jump of 18% on the previous year. Reports of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Consumer Durables: Discussion (18 Jun 2024)

Martin Kenny: I thank both speakers for their opening statements. The direction of travel here is clear. We need to see more of the goods and products that are sold being repairable and options being put in place for people. A lot of goods, particularly electronic goods, are imported from outside of the European Union. Some are CE certified while some are not. How will that play into all of this?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Consumer Durables: Discussion (18 Jun 2024)

Martin Kenny: In that case, the distributor would be obliged to ensure the product he or she is selling is repairable. That obligation follows back up the line and it is likely that unrepairable goods would be cut out of the chain.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Consumer Durables: Discussion (18 Jun 2024)

Martin Kenny: Does this have potential to increase the price of goods? The old Dunnes Stores slogan, stack them high and sell them cheap, has been around for a long time and we still see that in many cases. What we are talking about here is trying to move to a higher quality of product. That could pose problems for people, especially those on lower incomes or who have difficulties with their budget....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Consumer Durables: Discussion (18 Jun 2024)

Martin Kenny: I will come back to my first point. How much of this is being done in other jurisdictions outside of the European Union such as America, south-east Asia and places like that? Is there a trend towards more repairable and better quality goods? A nephew of mine recently visited China. When we hear about China, we hear that it is a completely wasteful society. However, he told me that 80% of...

Protection of Accident Victims from Non-Consensual Recording of Images Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (13 Jun 2024)

Duncan Smith: I thank the Minister of State and his officials. I certainly took those points in the manner in which they were intended, that is, constructively. I will go back and look at them all in an attempt to improve this and bring it forward to Committee Stage. This is exactly how this Parliament should work in terms of putting something forward and having a good reasoned debate and then getting...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Does Deputy Lawless wish to contribute?

Protection of Accident Victims from Non-Consensual Recording of Images Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (13 Jun 2024)

James Lawless: Yes. I commend Deputy Smith for introducing the Bill. As an aside, the Ceann Comhairle has already referenced those watching from outside. It might be worth clarifying that though this Chamber is often sparse, many of us are watching diligently in our office, as I was five minutes ago when I saw this matter being raised by Deputy Smith. I made my way to the Chamber to speak on it. I was...

Duncan Smith: Criminal.

Protection of Accident Victims from Non-Consensual Recording of Images Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (13 Jun 2024)

James Lawless: Criminal. It strikes me that there are a plethora of often overlapping and complex frameworks surrounding the capturing of images, be that video footage or stills, from the point of view of GDPR, the constitutional right to privacy, surveillance Acts and the interception of telecoms. We have had many such debates in the justice committee in recent times, not least on facial recognition...
