- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Nov 2023)
Sharon Keogan: I call for the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, to come to the House and answer the question of whether it is finally time to talk about immigration to this country. Is it finally time for all of us to talk openly and honestly about this, the most important issue in the country today? Is it time for everyone to come together and hash out some semblance of a workable plan, a logical way forward or...

- Seanad: Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages [Resumed] (15 Nov 2023)
Sharon Keogan: Yes. Amendment No. 22 proposes to delete lines 8 and 9 on page 16 and substitute "the name of the District Court judge and the date of approval". Section 18 allows for the secret tracking to be approved for up to three months, but potentially six months, subject to the approval of the District Court judge assigned by the Dublin metropolitan district. For ANPR to work, all number plate data...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Nov 2023)
Sharon Keogan: It is a great privilege to welcome to the Gallery members of the Muslim Sisters of Éire, an incredible group of women who will be known to anyone who has spent time in our capital city. They are some of the most selfless and servant-hearted women you could ever meet. They spend hours upon hours every week on the cold streets of Dublin, helping to feed those who are homeless. Every...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Nov 2023)
Sharon Keogan: On Tuesday, I hosted a presentation in the audiovisual, AV, room on human trafficking in Ireland. It came a day after the Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee, published her third action plan on the prevention and combating of this crime and human rights abuses. We heard from Kevin Hyland, a former police officer who headed up Scotland Yard’s anti-human trafficking unit. He was...
- Seanad: Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (8 Nov 2023)

- Seanad: Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (8 Nov 2023)
Sharon Keogan: The current definition of "recording device" in the Bill is very broad, so all types of recording devices or systems used by An Garda Síochána should, at the very least, be specified in a relevant code of practice. Ideally, there should be a list of all the approved devices. In the absence of that, we should have a proper code of practice regarding the use of such devices. That...

- Seanad: Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (8 Nov 2023)
Sharon Keogan: I know it has been ruled out of order but to have the cameras calibrated is really important. I am aware it is a cost on the Exchequer. Ultimately, however, if these cameras are not doing what they are supposed to, they are not functioning properly. If they are not checked by suppliers approved by the Private Security Authority, PSA, then this legislation is not worth its salt because...
- Seanad: Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (8 Nov 2023)

- Seanad: Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (8 Nov 2023)
Sharon Keogan: Retained automatic number plate recognition, ANPR, data is not defined in the Bill. It is unclear if it refers to a retained pool of ANPR data pertaining to all vehicles or ANPR data strictly pertaining to vehicles of interest on a watchlist. Will the Minister specify which it is? This amendment would allow searches of retained ANPR data to be carried out without the requirement of...
