Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (10 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister for his response. In recent decades we have been very much at peace with our geopolitical system and we have not yet felt any threat whatsoever. We are on notice now that everything is different and will be different for the decades to come. We must respond differently and this commission's report is a timely intervention in that. Deputy O'Callaghan said this is...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Asylum Seekers (10 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I, too, believe we are up for that. When one looks back, we have already successfully put in place and operated many major logistical operations. I refer to the vaccination programme and how quickly that had to be mobilised and rolled out from a standing start. We have the capacity to do these different things. We have a little head start in terms of the relatively small numbers of people...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Asylum Seekers (10 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I wish to ask about the role of the Defence Forces in responding to the Ukrainian refugee crisis. We have major financial and humanitarian programmes of support, but as we expect more and more people to come to Ireland, I would like the Minister to outline the anticipated role of the Defence Forces in the major logistical programmes of support.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Asylum Seekers (10 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister. Throughout my constituency, I am hearing stories of children from Ukraine joining various schools. It is great to hear that this has happened for them so quickly. As I dropped my son off this morning, a young boy was joining junior infants and high-fiving the kids around him. He had settled in nearly immediately. I hope that persists because there will be a very...

Financial Resolution: Excise (9 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank Deputy Flaherty for sharing time. I did not think I would have the opportunity to speak but wanted to hear the contributions from colleagues. Today is a particularly important moment in the response to the current crisis. I very much hope this is the last of the measures necessary but I greatly fear it will not be and that this is an issue we will be discussing in the House for...

Proposal for a Council Decision on Hate Speech and Hate Crime: Motion (9 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The Commission published notable research after President Von der Leyen's speech in December about the scale of the worrying trend of hate speech and hate crime, in particular the level of hatred manifested against, for example, the Roma community, Jews, Muslims, persons of Asian origin or those perceived to be of that origin, and the effect that had in terms of linked crimes in the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion (8 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I do not necessarily draw the same correlation but I at least note Mr. Le Jeune's source. Mr. Ó Ríordáin also made a comment. This speaks to what the committee and the Oireachtas are so concerned about, that is, safety in gambling. We have all had a number of constituents highlight the difficulties this issue has created in their lives and the lives of their families so it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion (8 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Perhaps I could phrase my question a slightly different way. I am sorry to cut across Mr. Ó Ríordáin. It is not my style but we are very limited on time. I apologise for that. How many people did Flutter Entertainment stop from gambling last year as a consequence of having identified that they had a problem?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion (8 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Mr. Grant will forgive me but I asked how many people Flutter Entertainment had stopped. How many interventions were there? What were they specifically and how many people were stopped from gambling?
