Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Truth and Justice Movement (7 Apr 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I was struck by Mr. McCord's opening statement. It is one of the most honest, direct, succinct statements ever to this committee. I could engage with Mr. McCord on every sentence of it but it would take a lengthy time. Like Senator Currie, I condemn murders on all sides, all violence, all failure to apologise and atone for that and all commemorations or celebrations of any kind of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Truth and Justice Movement (7 Apr 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I do not observe it for the scale of funding that has gone into it. I drive through both sides of Belfast and I do not see the development that I would expect. What Mr. McCord said about well-paid community positions rings true with what I have heard from other political sources. I do not see the development of the on the ground facilities for people, particularly in working class areas,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Truth and Justice Movement (7 Apr 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Truth and Justice Movement (7 Apr 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank Senator McGreehan for saying that. It is very important. I will raise two things. One is on the granularity of what Senator Currie is suggesting. If you look at the sources of funding, and if you are really going to do this effectively, you have to look at all the sources of funding. You have to look at Irish Government funding, European Union funding and British Government...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Water Quality (6 Apr 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I have raised this matter previously in this House and others have raised it as well. There is a strong emphasis around Dublin Bay on improving water quality in the bay. It is a long-standing issue but it has been particularly highlighted by the number of people using the sea facilities since Covid as they have become much more engaged with all-year round sea swimming. I work with a group...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Water Quality (6 Apr 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister of State for his response and acknowledge his attendance here tonight. I know this is not his area but the responsibility of the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, so I thank him for being here. I appreciate that the expert group is gathering survey data. I am a Deputy for the constituency from north Bray to Booterstown and I have been telling the authorities exactly...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Health Services (31 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Although I am taking this question on behalf of my colleague, Deputy Hourigan, I emphasise that trying to support young transgender people in Ireland is a strong interest of mine. When might we see the re-establishment of transgender child and adolescent mental healthcare services through the Tavistock clinic's work with Children's Health Ireland at Crumlin? This is about recognising that...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Health Services (31 Mar 2022)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Health Services (31 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: It is important to note there has been a very divisive debate in the UK about this issue over the past number of months and years. It is a debate that has not helped anybody. What we need is a very respectful, dignified conversation supporting what is a small but significant number of people who are transgender. There does not need to be a conflict between transgender rights and gender...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (31 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am in and out of two committees that are meeting at the same time. My apologies if I have missed important points but I cannot attend both meetings simultaneously.

I have an interest in this as I was on the section 44 committee from 2015 to 2019. It was a...
