Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: It is about raising boys in all the richness of life rather than in the traditional way, or not ascribing value to being at the top of the class in football and all those different things. I completely agree with our guests in respect of the teaching of consent. It is not just to what one is not consenting, but also to what one is consenting. I do not understand how consent can be taught...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: That is fine. I am not aware from my questioning of the Minister that the work has begun yet. I would very much hope you would be involved in this and also that you would have a perspective on what would be taught in the primary cycle as well. In relation to what Ms Neville said about menstruation, I spoke to a teacher of young girls who will become aware of menstruation in a few short...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Correct.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I agree with that, just to just to be clear. Ms Neville talked about toxic masculinity spilling over into outside the school. Does this happen in different forms? Does she that, whether this is on social media or in person?

To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the number of first-time passport applications in the Passport Office; the steps being taken to reduce and maintain the current wait time for first-time passport applications; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Accommodation Needs of Those Fleeing Ukraine: Statements (5 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Ministers for facilitating this debate today. I will flag a couple of practical issues of which Ministers should be aware. Much has been said that I agree with, particularly Deputy Duncan Smith's points about a State presence. In my constituency, the local Fine Gael councillor, Mr. Jim Gildea, offered his home on the second day of the conflict to the Irish Red Cross. He and...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Apologies for being late but I was also attending the Joint Committee on Gender Equality. I thank the officials for coming in. It is great to see them again. Last week, the Department of Justice was before the committee and one thing we went through was the transposition of the anti-money laundering directive, which I think was a European directive of 2015 ultimately was transposed in...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I appreciate that. I suppose the concern from the committee's perspective was that there was such a large fine, that it was an unusual thing and there was, as Mr. Hogan says, a series of anti-money laundering directives. In our dialogue with the Department of Justice, it indicated that it can be difficult to keep up and that there was directive after directive in relation to it. It...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Naturally. Therefore is there any other difficulty? What we are concerned about, particularly in the last ten weeks with the exposure from Russia and the concerns around financing and money laundering generally, is that we are at the top of our game on this and not, as we have been for the last six years, coming behind and paying fines.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: As I understand, it is really up to the banks and companies to, in practical effect, impose the sanctions. Is that correct?

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Okay, that would be great. I thank Mr. Hogan. There are some general questions and there is general ill-ease. I received a very good response back from the Department of Finance, which is worth putting on the record. It relates to securitisation and the exposure of the financial market generally to Russian assets. Mr. Hogan may correct me if I am wrong but the Department told me that...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I appreciate that but there is a number there for directly, identifiably linked entities. It is useful, as Mr. Hogan says, that they can be identified, let us hope that is the universe of that, to individuals linked to the sanction regime. I suppose my question is what comes next? How can we be sure of enforcement? That is really what I want to know.
