Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement: Mr. Tim O'Connor (26 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank Mr. O'Connor for coming in. I could ask him questions for two days and not get all my questions in. I was prompted by what Mr. O'Connor said to Senator Blaney about the last day of negotiations and the things that came up, particularly with the unionists and the UUP going into conference. There is a series of interviews that Professor Jennifer Todd and Professor John Coakley did on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement: Mr. Tim O'Connor (26 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: If this issue has been covered, my apologies. Mr. O'Connor referred to Seamus Mallon and the shared home place. Much of what Seamus Mallon was trying to do was to try to create the conditions. Indeed, the agreement leads with that, although I recognise what Mr. O'Connor was saying about the intention of simply stopping the trouble, as it were, and creating the conditions to move into the...

Recent Developments in Northern Ireland: Statements (25 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: As my colleague said, no one in this House needs reminding but perhaps some in the United Kingdom need to recall that it was the British Government that decided to have a referendum to leave the EU. It was the British Government that decided to have a hard Brexit and to leave the Single Market in this way, that found out the impact that would have on the island of Ireland, that agreed the...

Journalists in Conflicts across the World: Statements (24 May 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am sharing time with Deputy Niamh Smyth. I am happy to be given the opportunity to speak in this debate. In this House of our peaceful democracy, we weave in and out of the corridors intermingling with journalists working freely to report and analyse, to critique and reflect to those outside in an honest way, and to report faithfully on the facts in front of them. We are privileged to...

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

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The treatment benefit scheme in the Department of Social Protection provides important dental, optical and oral services to a range of different people. We heard from Amber Women's Refuge service and Safe Ireland in Leinster House 2000 this morning. One of the matters they raised relates to the practical effect of having to get consent for a qualified adult in order to get those treatments...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank Mr. Moloney and welcome him to the meeting. I was interested in what he said about Benefacts and how a decision had been taken over time whereby the establishment of the Charities Regulator and the openness that engendered meant the Department was satisfied it no longer needed Benefacts and did not regard it as a solution. Openness was created in the sector that may not have existed...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Public confidence in the charity sector, which perhaps had not been as strong prior to all those changes including the establishment of Benefacts, had been resolved through those various changes and through so much having changed in the sector.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I could not agree more. Data and transparency are very important. With that in mind, when we speak about the Department's role in developing data and transparency, the 2016 code of practice for the governance of State bodies played a key role. Would Mr. Moloney agree?

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am sorry to cut across Mr. Moloney but we have such a short time. How would that compare with a CEO of a commercial semi-state body? Are they under the same requirements then in terms of a scale or data protection concerns around the value? When I look them up in the media, and I appreciate this may not be the same thing, I can see dollar figures. Maybe they are not accurate. What are...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: On the gender pay gap information Act, I am looking at note 5 of the accounts. It is so basic. I was looking at the accounts of the Peter McVerry Trust, for example. It gives much more detail about the profile of the organisation and gender or the organisation. I am curious about how and when we will get to a point where we can see a better profile of the organisation in terms of...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I see that in the note. We wrote in November 2021 on that. I see in Mr. Moloney's note that he will revert to the committee later in 2022. It is May 2022 now. This scheduled sitting would have been a good opportunity. We would have hoped to see it today or in advance of today to discuss how it would be applied. When will we see it?
