Chapter 13 - Revenue's Management of Suspicious Transactions Reports (2 Dec 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Undoubtedly. It is sometimes a surprise and, if Mr. Harrahill does not mind me saying it, sometimes a nasty surprise, encountered when people have ordered gifts. As Mr. Harrahill said, the Revenue is coming into people's lives in a day-to-day way that it had not before. May I just turn to-----

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: In my remaining time I want to ask two questions on the work done on the suspicious transaction reports, STRs. Work remains to be done but when the system is updated with new key words that are, potentially, linked to cryptocurrencies or other marks of the black economy but, particularly cryptocurrencies, will that automatically have an effect on ratings? Once the work is done, will Revenue...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Justice for the Forgotten (2 Dec 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I wish to ask one clarifying question to better understand the challenge presented by Ms Urwin between the criminal investigation and the review. I am looking for more information. Can the witnesses provide detail on what they say is the issue? Obviously, we can follow up with the Department of Justice if legislative change is necessary? Will Ms Urwin describe that in a bit more detail?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Justice for the Forgotten (2 Dec 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I understand that and I can understand the Department's perspective how this review differs. One of the problems is how the information is treated and handled, and what possible implications there are from that for the security of any further prosecutions or the security of anything that comes out of it. We can follow that up and look for the resolution and, if legislative change is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Justice for the Forgotten (2 Dec 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Thank you. I want to support Senator Currie on what she has said on the treatment of legacy issues and on the proposal from the British Government. We are all very much on the same page in that regard. I might hand back to Senator Currie at this point.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (25 Nov 2021)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (25 Nov 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister for her reply. What she said about the child sexual abuse report line is important. I ask her to restate the telephone number when she has the opportunity. I ask that because I am thinking in particular of a couple who were in touch with me, and with the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, when she held this portfolio for a time. Their complaint was that they had realised...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (25 Nov 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I return to the child sexual abuse report line, because the disparity in power is so great between the parents of a young child and an alleged perpetrator. I refer to the example of a well-documented case, that has concluded and that was in the papers over time. The initial hours in this regard are crucial. I refer to being sent to the right hospital, the child being interviewed in the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Social Welfare Schemes (25 Nov 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I acknowledge the Minister's great work on this, particularly her work to change the income disregard and expand it. That will bring in people who are already caring and doing massive work for their families, work that otherwise might have to be done in other contexts. What efforts has the Department made to let people know about the change, in particular people who may have applied...
