Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Sustainable Development Goals and Ireland's 60th Year of UN Membership: Discussion (9 Jul 2015)

Ciara Conway: I thank Mr. Donoghue for his presentation. I have a very specific question on goal No. 5 in respect of achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. The UNFPA is on record as saying family planning is central to achieving gender equality and women's empowerment but it is also a factor in reducing poverty. This year, the UN has a very specific focus on youth but...

Topical Issue Debate: Autism Support Services (2 Jul 2015)

Ciara Conway: I thank the Minister of State for his response. I welcome the news that Waterford will be prioritised for speech and language and other social care posts.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Quarterly Update on Children and Youth Issues: Minister for Children and Youth Affairs (2 Jul 2015)

Ciara Conway: Will they fall outside the remit of Tusla? Those who have not yet come forward to make a complaint against the perpetrator but who suffered sexual abuse as an adult obviously will come forward. It is different in the case of a child.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Quarterly Update on Children and Youth Issues: Minister for Children and Youth Affairs (2 Jul 2015)

Ciara Conway: I am not suggesting that; I am talking about the support services in place for those who do not feel comfortable to come forward and name because that is one of the requirements, although "requirement" may not be an incorrect word to use. If somebody comes to Tusla, it is in the context of making a report. It is not always about providing support for someone who is a survivor. What is the...
