Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (23 Jun 2021)

Jennifer Whitmore: I want to raise the issue of the end-of-waste approval process. I am not sure whether the Taoiseach is familiar with it. It is the application process by which waste is taken by a company, processed and recycled and the company can then on-sell it. It is really the essence of the circular economy. There are 34 live end-of-waste applications with the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA,...

National Maternity Hospital: Motion [Private Members] (23 Jun 2021)

Jennifer Whitmore: After everything that women, past and present, have gone through in this country to defend the right to healthcare, it is an absolute fallacy to believe that it is possible for a privately-controlled hospital, built on Catholic lands and founded under a Catholic ethos, to provide healthcare that is based solely on medical science and that religious ethos will not influence it in any shape or...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Jun 2021)

Jennifer Whitmore: They are pulling the wool over your eyes, Taoiseach.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Jun 2021)

Jennifer Whitmore: The Taoiseach has just told Deputy Kelly to get real. The Taoiseach has to get real. The women of Ireland will not accept a maternity hospital that does not provide the full complement of healthcare services we need. The Taoiseach has said that he does not believe the governance is an issue. Is he aware that at the moment one cannot get IVF treatment or sterilisation procedures in St....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Jun 2021)

Jennifer Whitmore: My question follows on quite nicely from Deputy Bruton’s one. The witnesses spoke about consumers and the part they can play. As a consumer, when I go into my local supermarket, it is very difficult, despite all my best efforts, to figure out what products are local, how they are grown, whether they are sustainable, what kind of nitrates or other fertilisers were used in their...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Jun 2021)

Jennifer Whitmore: The question is for Mr. Keane and Dr. Moore, and perhaps Mr. Fitzgerald as he is an on-the-ground farmer. From an organic farmer’s perspective, labelling is very important. I do not know whether we have got organic labelling right in this country. I imagine a carbon footprint label would be beneficial from an organic farmer’s perspective as well. It would take nitrates into...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Children's Experiences during COVID-19 Restrictions and Lockdowns: Engagement (22 Jun 2021)

Jennifer Whitmore: I am very impressed with the contributions today. It is hard to come to a meeting such as this, but the things our guests were speaking about are things that I wish we had them discussing with us a year ago. The issues they are talking about and the way they are talking about them are exactly how we should have dealt with not just children's issues but a lot of the stuff to do with the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Children's Experiences during COVID-19 Restrictions and Lockdowns: Engagement (22 Jun 2021)

Jennifer Whitmore: When we are designing playgrounds the first people we should talk to are our guests, to be honest. Children know what they want to see in playgrounds and they know the best way to lay things out. I have another question and it is related to something I have seen in my house. I have four children - one in junior infants, one in fourth class, one in sixth class and a second year student....
