Eileen Flynn: I move amendment No. 51: In page 20, between lines 27 and 28, to insert the following: “(c) state the precise technological and software specifications of the cameras to be used,”. I believe that this Bill needs more discussion on Report Stage. Moving on to amendments Nos. 51, 52, 54 and 55, they are really simple and would require gardaí, when setting up CCTV...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Public Service Performance Report 2022: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)

Eileen Flynn: My first question today relates to the ethnicity identifier in the context of school performance and engagement. We still do not know how many Travellers, Muslims or people from various ethnic minority groups there are in our schools. One of my first jobs was as an education officer with the Irish Traveller Movement in 2011 and 2012. At that time, it was very difficult to get information...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Public Service Performance Report 2022: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)

It is up to parents to decide if they want to clarify their child's ethnicity but it is not very clear to the Traveller...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Traveller Community (19 Oct 2023)

Eileen Flynn: I thank the Cathaoirleach and I thank the Minister of State for personally attending the House this morning. It means a great deal because the last time I did this Commencement matter, the Minister of State, unfortunately, could not make it. In April 2022, a year and a few months ago, I stood in this House to raise the exact same Commencement matter with the exact same questions....

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Traveller Community (19 Oct 2023)

Eileen Flynn: For the three and a half years I have been in this House I have worked with the National Traveller Mental Health Network, NTMHN, and with the community on the ground.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Oct 2023)

Eileen Flynn: I second the amendment to the Order of Business proposed by Senator Moynihan. All of us across the House have been talking about our deep concerns and heartbreak at what has been happening in Israel and Gaza over the past ten days. Many of us in this House care so deeply about the issue. I believe that most of us share a deep commitment to human rights. It is, therefore, very unfortunate...
