Catherine Noone: Perhaps we could seek written evidence on that and then address it with the committee's legal adviser when we meet her closer to the decision-making process. It is a good suggestion.

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Nov 2017)

Catherine Noone: I agree with Senator Mulherin's comments in which she articulated the nub of the issue very well. It is the multiples that are happy with the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill and for good reason. The fact that the Minister is willing to compromise in regard to the lower percentage of sales is to be welcomed. These loss-leaders, which is effectively what they are, are drawing people in. They...

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Nov 2017)

Catherine Noone: I support Senators Colm Burke and Keith Swanick on the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill, my views on which are well documented. Does the Leader have any idea as to when it will proceed to Report Stage? I refer to social media and the need for legislation to deal with many of the issues that arise in that regard. They are evolving and we are behind the curve in legislating to deal with many...

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Nov 2017)

Catherine Noone: It is an issue on which we must stand up and be counted. It will get completely out of control if it is not called out in some way. I apologise to the Cathaoirleach, but I have not been able to get here for a while and briefly wish to raise another point. I attended the launch of the National Women's Council of Ireland's document, Every Woman. It is a very important one. I will not go...

Seanad: Councillors' Conditions: Statements (16 Nov 2017)

Catherine Noone: -----he has made great strides. As someone who previously served as a Senator - for two terms - and a councillor, he is very well placed to make changes in this area. That must be acknowledged. It is rare that I agree with Senator Gerard Craughwell, but I did so when he mentioned maternity leave. Obviously, that issue is close to most women's hearts. A problem exists in this regard. We...

Catherine Noone: We are expecting that a group suggested by Deputy Mattie McGrath will come. We assume they will come. We had to rearrange their slot because of the week off. It so happened that we had TMFR in the week before. The intention was to have the group in the week after, which was last week, but we are in their hands as to whether they want to come in. My understanding is that they are due in...
