- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 May 2023)
Eileen Flynn: My contribution will lead on to a point I am trying to make around racism and discrimination. I love working here. I have met friends who I would have thought were enemies, if you like, before I came in. I have a good relationship with the majority of other Members. I genuinely feel I am an equal Member in this House who is able to vote and get up and have my say. Last night, I got a...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Apr 2023)
Eileen Flynn: Unfortunately, I was not able to be here last week due to not having a babysitter for the girls. To be watching the event at home with my child and to be part of our Parliament was brilliant. One could feel the vibe outside when President Biden was here. The Cathaoirleach's speech was incredible and we have much to be proud of, making it to news and other channels all over the world. I...

The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission understood that having it as the nomination body for one of the lay positions was a guaranteed in-build of human rights and equality expertise within the layout of...
- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) (18 Apr 2023)
Eileen Flynn: This is a little like our political system. We need the people in our courts to look like us and to be from our communities as well. I understand that having IHREC would play a role in that too. Where is the black judge in Irish society? Where is the judge who is a member of the Traveller community? We know many people within our community have gone on and practised law and have been...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Apr 2023)
Eileen Flynn: I have a general question on leaving certificate reform. How do people think that should look in terms of subjects? If we reformed the leaving certificate, what would science and maths look like? When we talk about STEM, in my opinion, we are talking about gender equality and equality in general. I see very little opportunity for people from minority groups. Here I am again at the Joint...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Climate Crisis and Disability: Discussion (30 Mar 2023)
Eileen Flynn: It frustrates me so much that I actually feel insulted when I read, "Leave no one behind". We are constantly leaving people behind and the Departments are constantly leaving people behind. Unless we action this out, it means nothing on a piece of paper. It annoys me. Maybe that is because I am from a minority group. I had a conversation with Ms Gilmartin in the audiovisual room. This is...
