Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Mark Durkan (29 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank Mr. Durkan for joining. Although it is difficult within the confines of the agreement at the time, I want to better understand the mindset on the difference between achieving an agreement and knowing that you are achieving an agreement essentially on constitutional and political structures and having a sense that things were being left over, as it were, for example, legacy or the...

Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (22 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister for bringing the Bill to the House and for the amount of work she has done in the Seanad on it. It is really important and timely legislation and I commend her for her work. It is legislation that has been needed for some time. It is clear from our own regulation of politics and conversations with parents, schools and other actors, there is a need for regulation of...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flexible Work Practices (22 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: An interesting point will be interplay between the retention of the deduction and any other changes that Government introduces with regard to energy supports more broadly and how that works out for individuals. It is extraordinary how external events impact behaviour in a collective way, whether it is the change to remote working and how much that has been of benefit to people, particularly...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flexible Work Practices (22 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The Minister is quite right that the State cannot be the first port of call. There is, however, a general supervisory role and level of communication with businesses, in particular, to try to effect a degree of co-ordination that works for their employees. I spoke with one city centre business owner who has a core day on Wednesday. Everybody comes into the office on a Wednesday for the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flexible Work Practices (22 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The question of working from home has taken an unexpected, negative turn in recent months with the rise in energy prices, such as for gas and electricity. What is the Minister’s view on that as we enter the winter months?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Code (22 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Thank you, a Chathaoirligh, for facilitating the question, which I am taking on behalf of Deputy Colm Burke. In fact, I take it on behalf of many people with a strong interest in the answer to this question on inheritance tax thresholds having regard to the progressivity of the income tax and local property tax systems and the rise in house prices. What is the Minister's view on that...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Code (22 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister for his response. I sometimes wonder with the reporting of this whether people really understand who is concerned about it and who is bothered by it. It is as if it is all millionaires and billionaires that are somehow going to benefit from this. I keep thinking about a woman just off Johnstown Road in my constituency, who has paid off her mortgage with income after...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Code (22 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: It is an altruistic position because, as the Minister says, what a person is trying to do is make decisions in the best interests perhaps not of themselves but of their children and helping them to plan their lives. As the Minister says, these mortgages are paid off after tax from net income with tax rates extremely high and with no other source of support from the State. It is about being...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Ms O'Mahony referred to medication and CAMHS. I want to understand the practicality of that because sometimes we hear phrases such as that but it is only when we are told the full story that we really understand the impact of what is happening to people and their families. As I understand it, without asking her to divulge too much personal information, Ms O'Mahony's son takes a form of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Sep 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Sensitivity to medication can be very important, and young people change, as do their minds, their size, their weight and everything else. It was of great concern to me that Ms O'Mahony said that this medication is not being supervised. My son takes significant medication and that is supervised. Will she please explain why it is not being supervised? How often should he be seen in regard...
