Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 May 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: Today, 15 May, is Hyperemesis gravidarum awareness day. Hyperemesis gravidarum, HG, is the medical name for extreme nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, which affects approximately 2% of pregnancies, so 1 in 50. Unlike typical pregnancy sickness, it is highly debilitating with women often unable to work, look after their other children or leave the house or bed. It results in frequent...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 May 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: The rest of the week.

Seanad: Order of Business (13 May 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: Yesterday, I called on the Camogie Association to take the decision-making out of players' hands ahead of this weekend's Leinster finals. As things stand, it is against the rules for women to wear shorts while playing camogie matches. However, while we await the outcome of a special Congress vote on 22 May, there is a way to avoid any further distraction for players and managers regarding...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 May 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: Maidin mhaith, a chairde. I welcome this morning's announcement by the Camogie Association that it will convene a special meeting of its ard chomhairle to discuss the issue of playing gear. This, of course, follows last weekend's strike by the Dublin and Kilkenny players, who were forced to change out of their shorts in order to play a Leinster semi-final. What has followed since last...

Seanad: Higher Education: Motion (7 May 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: I thank the Minister for coming in. I know he has been listening keenly. I support the motion. We have heard a lot in recent days. It was great to see Members wearing shorts to acknowledge the struggle by the camogie players. That is about listening to players. I wanted to make sure we are listening to young people in this debate. It is vital we do not forget the voice of students and...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (29 Apr 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: It has come to my attention that an issue I raised several weeks ago, on the provision of public health nurses in Dublin 12, has continued to escalate. I have been contacted by a number of parents of children aged between two months and four years who are not being seen for developmental checks. In one instance, the mother of a four-year-old boy was in touch to say her son's final sign-off...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Apr 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: I want to raise the difficulties faced by nut and other allergy sufferers in Ireland. Allergies are very common in Ireland with about 29% of people suffering with an allergy, but those numbers are rising. The rates are similar to those found in other European countries. Roughly 15% of the population has complex allergy problems requiring specialist care, typically a dose of adrenaline...

Seanad: International Trade and International Relations: Statements (Resumed) (3 Apr 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: I dtús baire, I echo the remarks of Senators Andrews and Daly on the passing of the great Mick O'Dwyer. I send my condolences the O'Dwyer family and his wider family in the Gaelic games community. Laoch ár linne a bhí ann. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. Táimid an-bhuíoch den Aire Stáit as a bheith sa Teach inniu agus bhíomar buíoch den...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Scoileanna Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta (2 Apr 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: Gabhaim míle buíochas leis an Aire Stáit, an Teachta Moynihan, as a bheith anseo inniu. Bhí mé ag súil leis an Aire sinsearach ach tuigim go bhfuil sí gafa le cúrsaí eile ar maidin agus táim fíorbhuíoch de as a bheith anseo agus a chuid ama a thabhairt dúinn sa Seanad. Tá plean, mar is eol ag an Aire Stáit, ag an...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Scoileanna Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta (2 Apr 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: I thank the Minister of State for his response. I am grateful that he will go back with the five questions because they are key to moving this issue forward. There is not a whole lot of detail in the statement, as we can see. The Minister of State said the first phase of the transition will involve first year intake only, so I wonder when the details of the second phase will be announced....

Seanad: Childcare: Statements (2 Apr 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: I thank the Minister for being here. As everybody has said, we are all on the same page, we want improvements and the plans sounds fantastic. If the Minister can provide childcare for €200 per child in the lifetime of the Government, we will all be backing it, that is for sure. I am going to cut out some of the stuff I was going to say because I am conscious we do not need...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Mar 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: When I first spoke in this House, I raised dual diagnosis and how I wanted to increase awareness of it and highlight it further in the coming weeks and months. Since then, I have had some conversations with healthcare workers on an ad hoc basis. A particular healthcare worker got in touch with me to say that, in her community, there was a plan and some funding in place to have a clinical...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Mar 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: The GAA club awards took place in Croke Park last weekend. Camogie players, ladies footballers, footballers and hurlers were all celebrated at the same event. That might sound like it did not break new ground but it has actually never happened before. This is because, of course, we have three separate associations governing our national games. These are the Camogie Association, the Ladies...

Seanad: Seachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (6 Mar 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit, an Teachta Buttimer, atá anseo chun tús a chur leis na ráitis seo.

Seanad: Seachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (6 Mar 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: Go raibh míle maith agat, a Aire Stáit. Tá sé an-spreagúil do chuid Gaeilge a chloisint. Ní mór duit a bheith cineálta duit féin. Tá tú i bhfad níos fearr ag an nGaeilge ná mar a cheapann tú. Maith thú, a Aire Stáit. Lean ort á húsáid. Before we move on, I welcome Pat Maunsell and Eileen...

Seanad: Seachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (6 Mar 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: Go raibh míle maith agat, a Sheanadóir. Is gealltanas iontach é sin an Ghaeilge a úsáid sa Seanad. Táim cinnte go n-aontóidh an-chuid Seanadóirí leat ar an bpointe sin. Sin deireadh leis na ráitis ar Sheachtain na Gaeilge. Ní gá dó labhairt ar feadh deich nóiméad ach tabharfar deich nóiméad ar a laghad...

Seanad: Seachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (6 Mar 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit as ucht teacht isteach go dtí Seanad Éireann agus páirt a ghlacadh sa díospóireacht maidir le Seachtain na Gaeilge. Cathain a mholann Treoraí an Tí go dtiocfaidh Seanad Éireann le chéile arís?

Seanad: Seachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (6 Mar 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: An bhfuil sé sin aontaithe? Aontaithe.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: I raise something that is of importance and is quite worrying in my constituency of Dublin South-Central and, more specifically, in Crumlin where I live. There is a complete lack of developmental checks for babies and toddlers in my area. I had my third child three years ago. There was a difference between the developmental checks that child has not had at all compared with my older...

Seanad: International Women's Day - Women's Health: Statements (5 Mar 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: The Minister is very welcome. I thank her for her opening remarks. I echo her frustration - although that might be the wrong word, so "exasperation" - that we must have these weeks for women in sport, women in politics, and women for election. I hope we will get to a point where we do not have to have special weeks because, as the Minister says, we are half of the population. I want to...
