Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the witnesses for coming in. I admire their work in totally different ways. I am delighted to see them here. Ms Joyce and I previously saw each other at the parliamentary forum. We were speaking again at yesterday's meeting of the Joint Committee on Justice regarding places of detention. Deputy Bacik and I co-chair the penal reform group within the Oireachtas. I was struck by...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I completely agree. I came out of Limerick and went to straight to a journalist to try to highlight those figures. It has been published in the Limerick Post. I also raised them in the Dáil with the Taoiseach. I did it for exactly that reason. I completely agree with Ms Joyce. Apologies for cutting across the witness.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Oct 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: As we see more and more women in different positions, I feel it should not be their responsibility to be in their job and to also be responsible for everything to do with women. There must be a point at which it is simply acceptable to just do the job without discussing why they are doing it or the fact that they are doing it while being a woman or anything else. Just be "the politician"...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Bertie Ahern (20 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank Mr. Ahern for coming in. We are very pleased to have him in and I thank him for the work he did. A normal amount of spats is the normal type of politics Mr. Ahern and others were aiming to achieve in Northern Ireland in the 1990s, instead of what was there. He has said clearly the primary goal for him and for the British Government was stopping the violence in the first instance...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: It is pouring rain outside, which means that the sea quality in Dún Laoghaire and Dublin Bay is unlikely to be good for anyone thinking of taking a dip, which many do since Covid. We never know what the sea quality is from beach to beach or area to area because the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Minister of State, Deputy Malcolm Noonan, will not agree to...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: It is both. Is it clean or not clean? It is as simple as testing the water all year round so people know that they will get sick or not when they get in for an auld dip.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence (19 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The Government is to provide funding agreements for 2023 in the coming weeks. That is a big improvement. It seems so obvious that funding for 2023 should be agreed in 2022 but I have worked with organisations that have received funding for a given calendar year which was only signed off on in November of that same year. Obviously, they cannot work in that way. Not all of those people...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence (19 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy James Browne, for attending for an important catch-up on domestic violence and domestic violence funding in the budget for 2023. As the Leas-Cheann Comhairle will know, I have taken opportunities over the year to highlight the names of victims of femicide – women identified by Women's Aid as having been killed since 1997 – to keep their...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I joined the meeting about 25 minutes ago and have been listening to my colleagues. Can I contribute later, Chair?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Health: Health Service Executive (18 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the officials for coming in. Having listened to my colleagues' contributions and the answers to them, I am a little confused because this dialogue is far removed from the experience parents relate to me. As Members of the Oireachtas, we hear about every part of the public sector and all the public services. This area comes up again and again and is by far the most challenging...
