Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy in Education: Discussion (Resumed) (4 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Ms Fox told me that 116,000 teachers are registered in the State. She said it is the largest professional registration of all. When we talk about teachers available for July provision, Ms Fox cannot give me any estimate between 2,400 and 24,000 out of 116,000. She has given a figure of 1,200 who have been made available by the Teaching Council's changes to the entry level process. It is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Business of Joint Committee (4 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: We do work and it is essential that we can work privately on things, so that we can air our different views. I think the Chairman named me directly in comments to a media outlet. I found that disappointing, not just as a member of the committee but as Vice Chair. It makes it difficult. I know the Chairman regrets the comments. I do not think it was necessary. Will the Chairman make his...

Financial Resolutions 2022 - Financial Resolution No. 6: General (Resumed) (29 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Sometimes I think we are looking at different budgets. Some €11 billion of a budget is very significant indeed. I remember the days when we were taking figures of €6 billion, and so on, out of the economy. It is a seismic budget. What is the alternative in continuing with existing spending and expanding that, to not doing that? Of course, €7 billion has to be spent...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the witnesses for coming in. I sit on a number of committees, one of which is the Joint Committee on Autism. Last week we had the privilege of having a number of parents of autistic children before us to outline the different things that were going on in their children's lives and the difficulties they were facing. Specifically, a number of parents highlighted difficulties with the...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: There is no possibility of the child having been discharged if he remains on medication. Any child on medication, whether it is psychiatric medication, medication for epilepsy, or any other medication, is monitored and weighed for their reactions, height and weight. Is this not obvious? Is this not a thing that happens?

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am sorry but it is not a question of following up on the individual case. I am not raising it as an individual representation to be followed up, although I would like it followed up. I am raising it because it highlights that it is possible, within CHO 4, for a child going through adolescence not to have been seen for that length of time. We also have the State Claims Agency in here from...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: That is fantastic. I thank Mr. Farnan. Last week, literally all of the parents had a difficulty. Not only that, but many other parents have difficulties. Perhaps we could do exactly that and follow up. I can get a list of names from the parents who are working with different support groups and Rainbow Centre services. That would be absolutely marvellous because, when they go to their...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens' Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (29 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I have two follow-up questions. The reforms around workers' rights and changing the workers' agenda generally were detailed. Will the Tánaiste outline what he thinks will be the impact on gender equality of some of those reforms and changes? He also referred to "not simply a lack of opportunity at senior levels in companies, but barriers at lower levels that are unlikely to be...
