- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: European Elections 2024, Voting Rights and Combating Disinformation: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Sharon Keogan: Yes. It was about whether the commission would present some examples of what it considers to be misinformation and disinformation. While I am aware the commission does not have the power to remove misinformation or disinformation, will it be involved in media literacy programmes and calling out harmful or incorrect information?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: European Elections 2024, Voting Rights and Combating Disinformation: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)

Sharon Keogan: Have all the online platforms signed up to the guidelines in the Digital Services Act? I see the commission has the power to issue compliance notices. How long does that compliance notice take and what is the follow up? For example, if a complaint is made and the compliance notice is issued I understand the fines are up to 6% of the gross turnover of these particular agencies, which is...

Sharon Keogan: Yes, through the Chair. I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach. I have to leave but I want to wish Mr. Jeremy Godfrey really well in the job he has ahead of him. It is a very tumultuous time in politics and in media throughout the world and the representatives from Coimisiún na Meán are the guardians of our democracy. I wish them well.
- Seanad: Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (7 Mar 2024)
Sharon Keogan: I commend Senators Clonan and McGreehan for sharing their personal stories this afternoon. I also want to share mine because I have lost two children through miscarriage. I have two but I also lost two. It is difficult. I recognise that, but people are calling the people who stand outside centres and hospitals protestors. I would not call them that. To me, they are not protestors. They...

Sharon Keogan: I thank Senator Mullen for his in-depth contribution on this particular amendment. This amendment would ensure that silent prayer would be protected. Already in England, we saw a case of several people who have been interrogated, arrested and fined for simply standing in the vicinity of abortion providers and silently praying without holding any signs or making any statements. One man,...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Mar 2024)
Sharon Keogan: The Electoral Commission claimed a poster I sponsored is factual misrepresentation of the existing text of the Constitution with regard to the two proposals being voted on on Friday. There is no error in this. I was never contacted by the commission before it released a statement about me. The Minister, Deputy Heather Humphreys, writing in the Irish Independent yesterday, said that a...
- Seanad: International Women's Day: Statements (6 Mar 2024)
Sharon Keogan: I thank the Minister. Friday, 8 March is International Women's Day worldwide but sadly, Ireland has much progress to make in truly supporting women in 2024. It is important on this occasion to salute and support the courageous sportswomen who face the existential threat to their pursuits. I commend Irish pool champion Kim O'Brien who refused to play a biological male competitor and...
