- Dentistry Services: Motion (22 May 2024)
Jennifer Whitmore: The Ombudsman for Children has issued a report this week to highlight the many ways in which children are being failed in this country. The report states that children are competing for attention at a time of crisis in many areas. Dental health is one of those areas where children are being forgotten so I want to focus on children in this contribution. We have 104,000 children on a...

If a derogation is applied to that centre, those jobs and positions can be filled. I...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy in the Food Sector: Discussion (21 May 2024)
Jennifer Whitmore: I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee. I want to concentrate on an incredibly important issue when it comes to food wastage in Ireland and that is the best before date.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy in the Food Sector: Discussion (21 May 2024)
