- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I thank the representatives from Dublin Rape Crisis Centre for attending. Submissions from that centre always make for painful reading. We hope that, at some stage, the level of gender violence will decrease and be dealt with in a different manner. However, this has not happened to date. I thank the representatives from the centre for their hard work. Will they talk to me about legal...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2019)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2019)
Catherine Connolly: That is a theme which has come up repeatedly with regard to the use of language. We need to move away from using the term "revenge porn" rather than "abuse", which Ms Blackwell has mentioned. It is abuse to transmit the sexual image. One thing is language and another is where we go on legislation. Third is the larger issue of accountability and openness and how we do that. We need that...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2019)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I thank Mr. Herrick. That is very helpful. When An Garda Síochána was before us it was clear that we did not have enough data on the breakdown of resources. Some unit that was supposed to be set up was going to be set up next year. With regard to Dara Quigley, the failure to hold anyone to account in that matter goes to the heart of what we are talking about. Things happen...
- Acknowledgement and Apology to Women and Families affected by CervicalCheck Debacle: Statements (22 Oct 2019)
Catherine Connolly: Fáiltím roimh an deis páirt a ghlacadh sa díospóireacht seo. I accept the apology, which was the right thing to do, but for it to mean something, we will need action. Earlier, I raised the issue of the public hospital in Galway. Last week, Caranua appeared before the Committee of Public Accounts, of which I am a member. In 1999, the then Government made an apology...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2019)
Catherine Connolly: As the Taoiseach has not used the three minutes available to him, I might take some of the time for my answer because this case is really serious. I am not asking the Taoiseach to comment on the individual facts. That is not possible and it is not my way. I am asking him to acknowledge that both he and the Government have been put on notice repeatedly about the state of the hospital in...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I welcome the speedy inquiry into the voting debacle. I might direct the Taoiseach's attention to what is the norm in our hospital in Galway. However, it highlights in the most acute way the utter failure of the Taoiseach and the Government to focus on public health and the hospital in Galway. As recently as 25 September in the Taoiseach's absence, the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, answered...

To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he has spoken to his Colombian counterpart on the assertion by the special jurisdiction for peace in Colombia that between 500 and 600 persons could be buried in unmarked graves in the zone of the Hidroituango construction project; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
