Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Nov 2023)

Sharon Keogan: I am calling for a debate on the latest report from the cryptic sounding Institute for Strategic Dialogue, entitled Uisce Faoi Thalamh: An Investigation into the Online Mis- and Disinformation Ecosystem in Ireland. While the parent institute was wholly unknown prior to the publishing of this report, the report enjoyed widespread media coverage over recent days in The Irish Times,...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Healthcare Policy (21 Nov 2023)

Sharon Keogan: Earlier this year, I called for a debate on Ireland opting out of the amendments to five articles in the international health regulations that were adopted on 27 May 2022 by the World Health Assembly. On that day, 194 unelected, unaccountable and largely unknown delegates to the assembly from WHO member states agreed on amendments to five separate articles of the international health...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Healthcare Policy (21 Nov 2023)

Sharon Keogan: I appreciate the attempt at reassurance on where our health service is going to be going forward. However, it does not give me any comfort. The media has been entirely silent on this. If it were not for a few good people with their ears to the ground, all of Ireland would be ignorant of what is happening over on the Continent, where laws are being made which will drastically impact the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Nov 2023)

Sharon Keogan: I raise an issue that came to my attention this afternoon when it was published on the Government website. It is the modular development plan announced by the Department of the Minister, Deputy O’Gorman. It is accommodation for the beneficiaries of temporary accommodation from Ukraine. There are 74,744 Ukrainians currently in State accommodation. Another 30,000 have sought...

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)

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...
