Eileen Flynn: Before the recess, we were discussing this very important legislation. It feels a bit like déja vu. Some of the issues have come up in amendment after amendment. To be fair to the Civil Engagement Group, Senators Higgins, Ruane and Black have reached out to community organisations and DPOs. For us, the sustainable development goals are a no-brainer to support. Every child should...

Eileen Flynn: The CEG has put in numerous amendments around social justice for people with disabilities and for members of the Traveller community.

It is one of the largest pieces of legislation to ever come...

When we vote for our local councillors, we vote for a person who will represent our communities. We must make sure they have all the supports they need to make these decisions in our best interests. These amendments would empower local councillors by giving them...
