Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Ms Frances Haugen (23 Feb 2022)

Annie Hoey: That is incredibly helpful. I thank Ms Haugen. That will be useful for thinking about things going forward. I want to jump to what Ms Haugen mentioned previously around online safety rules that focus on subject matter in a linguistically diverse world. Can Ms Haugen elaborate a little more on that? It is an interesting point. Linguistic diversity is a global situation. For example,...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Ms Frances Haugen (23 Feb 2022)

Annie Hoey: That is only just across a border. Could Ms Haugen give a little bit more information on that? I will have one more question after that.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Ms Frances Haugen (23 Feb 2022)

Annie Hoey: Ms Haugen mentioned the Rohingya people and the hate speech in Myanmar. She has also referenced the situation in Ethiopia. Could she elaborate? I am interested in whether Facebook Ireland, specifically, could have prevented those situations. How did Facebook Inc. fail to protect these people? If it can happen there, it can happen anywhere else. It is happening in other places. I am...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Ms Frances Haugen (23 Feb 2022)

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Nursing Education (22 Feb 2022)

Annie Hoey: I welcome the Minister of State. I cannot believe that I am once again here talking about paying student nurses and midwives. I ask the Minister of State to take my pleading back to the Minister for Health to sort out the pandemic payment for student nurses and midwives. It is unbelievable that this is still going on. A year ago, I introduced a piece of legislation that would allow...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Nursing Education (22 Feb 2022)

Annie Hoey: I thank the Minister of State for her reply. We understood the memo had very recently gone out. The review is extremely welcome and I urge the Minister to enact these recommendations with haste. It is all well and good that this is going to be sorted out soon. I note there is no set date yet. It is still somewhat in the hopefully not-too-distant future, which will bring student nurses...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Feb 2022)

Annie Hoey: On behalf of the Labour Party group, I welcome the Lithuanian ambassador to the House. I am surprised to see Senators going at each other in the Chamber. It is not particularly helpful. The vitriol is better left outside the Chamber rather than having it in here. However, I want to put on the record that I have also spoken to people and I believe what they have told me. I see no reason...

Seanad: Report of Joint Committee on Agriculture and the Marine: Motion (16 Feb 2022)

Annie Hoey: I welcome the Minister of State and the Chairman of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Cahill. I commend my colleagues, Senators Boyhan, Boylan, Paul Daly and Lombard, on the quality of their work on this report. I found it incredibly informative and helpful. I am a Member for the agricultural panel and come from a farming background and it helped me...

Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare and Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (16 Feb 2022)

Annie Hoey: I will not go on too long because I agree with what has already been said. It is nice that we are all on the same side. Government Senators are welcome on this side of the House any time if they want to join us and agree about things. This is the second time today I have risen to talk about workers' rights. My thoughts on the industry are no secret. It is a nasty and disgusting industry,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)

Annie Hoey: I have two topics on which to focus, so my contribution will not be too lengthy. Last week, during a discussion we had on the Joint Sub-Committee on Mental Health, a member of the Irish Hospital Consultants Association made an interesting comment that is pertinent to today's discussion. He said that we could publish as many plans and reports on which we ideologically agree, but these...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)

Annie Hoey: I thank Mr. Reid. It is one of those things that we will just have to get to grips with. Not enough money is coming from the Government to employ people to achieve the goal. I accept the comment Mr. Reid made that it is wider than just pay. That is something that we as political representatives have to take very seriously. As an advocate of workers' rights, a fair day's pay for a fair...

Seanad: Safe Access to Termination of Pregnancy Services Bill 2021: Committee Stage (10 Feb 2022)

Annie Hoey: As co-signatories, we fully support the amendment. I welcome and thank Together for Safety for all the work it has done on this legislation. The Bill is about patient safety and well-being and also the safety and well-being of doctors, GPs and their staff. We are not just talking about the people who want to access reproductive healthcare but also the staff. As Senator Gavan alluded to,...

Seanad: Safe Access to Termination of Pregnancy Services Bill 2021: Committee Stage (10 Feb 2022)

Annie Hoey: Perhaps this could be tabled as a Commencement matter or followed up with the Minister. I will see if the Minister wishes to respond, but we have limited time left within which to get through the amendments to the Bill. I appreciate that the Senator seeks an answer to his question. Does the Minister wish to come in or is he happy for us to-----
