- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 Jul 2023)
Sharon Keogan: I second the amendment by Senator Mullen. I am calling for a debate with the Minister for Health on what seems to be the perennially unsolvable issue of wait times for essential lifesaving procedures in this country.

Sharon Keogan: I thank the Cathaoirleach. I second the proposal to amend the Order of Business.

Sharon Keogan: That was false. It is the Tánaiste, Deputy Micheál Martin. He said the protesters, in what they were attempting to do, were "behaving in a manner that is intolerant of freedom of speech" and that they did not want to allow other views to come forward. “What you’re saying is, debate on your terms, or on nobody else’s terms”, he said. Yet, the...

Sharon Keogan: Yet, the Tánaiste is on record stating unequivocally, “We don’t need to have that kind of debate in Ireland”, in relation to how gender-critical women found their voices in the UK and began to speak out against the erosion of their rights, identities and spaces as a result of the changes brought about by radical trans activists. In addition, the pronouncement that...
