- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Public Service Performance Report 2022: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)
Eileen Flynn: I understand what Dr. Alexander is saying but he is not talking about an ethnic identifier. Having worked with national Traveller organisations, I know this is something they are looking for in both primary and secondary school. Obviously it is a matter of choice. It is up to parents to decide if they want to clarify their child's ethnicity but it is not very clear to the Traveller...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Oct 2023)
Eileen Flynn: I second the amendment to the Order of Business proposed by Senator Moynihan. All of us across the House have been talking about our deep concerns and heartbreak at what has been happening in Israel and Gaza over the past ten days. Many of us in this House care so deeply about the issue. I believe that most of us share a deep commitment to human rights. It is, therefore, very unfortunate...

Eileen Flynn: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Calleary, to the House to discuss this very important issue. The Civil Engagement Group very much appreciates the communication from Department officials in the past week, and even this morning we spoke in the House about the importance of cross-party support and communicating with officials. We thank them for that. I will not speak further on the...
