Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I wish to ask one clarifying question to better understand the challenge presented by Ms Urwin between the criminal investigation and the review. I am looking for more information. Can the witnesses provide detail on what they say is the issue? Obviously, we can follow up with the Department of Justice if legislative change is necessary? Will Ms Urwin describe that in a bit more detail?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Justice for the Forgotten (2 Dec 2021)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I understand that and I can understand the Department's perspective how this review differs. One of the problems is how the information is treated and handled, and what possible implications there are from that for the security of any further prosecutions or the security of anything that comes out of it. We can follow that up and look for the resolution and, if legislative change is...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (25 Nov 2021)

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (25 Nov 2021)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister for her reply. What she said about the child sexual abuse report line is important. I ask her to restate the telephone number when she has the opportunity. I ask that because I am thinking in particular of a couple who were in touch with me, and with the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, when she held this portfolio for a time. Their complaint was that they had realised...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (25 Nov 2021)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I return to the child sexual abuse report line, because the disparity in power is so great between the parents of a young child and an alleged perpetrator. I refer to the example of a well-documented case, that has concluded and that was in the papers over time. The initial hours in this regard are crucial. I refer to being sent to the right hospital, the child being interviewed in the...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Social Welfare Schemes (25 Nov 2021)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I acknowledge the Minister's great work on this, particularly her work to change the income disregard and expand it. That will bring in people who are already caring and doing massive work for their families, work that otherwise might have to be done in other contexts. What efforts has the Department made to let people know about the change, in particular people who may have applied...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: There are have been huge advances in the carers' allowance, including the means test for the carers allowance, and I want to thank the Minister and congratulate her on that work. It is transformative to have changed the means test and the disregard in the way she has. I am sorry if I came in early. There are a series of linked questions.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The number is 5,575. It is not all 40,000 people with epilepsy. The impact of the diagnosis is the that State says you cannot drive for a year. If there is a breakthrough seizure, you cannot drive for a year. There are many people who have controlled epilepsy and are on the long-term illness scheme already but those whose illness is uncontrolled, about 30% of people with epilepsy, will...

There was an underspend of €6 million in 2020. The Department attributed that to a number of large-scale projects that did not progress due to the time frame relating to various issues, including Covid-19 delays. Ms Licken stated that the full underspend was to be carried forward into 2021....
