Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in HSE: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Annie Hoey: I thank the witnesses for their presentation. They mentioned that they have notified their organisations' members about a ballot. Will that comprise just these two unions or will other unions be involved in that? I am just wondering about the structure of the ballot and whether it will be a co-ordinated event among a few unions. Fórsa, which represents administrative and clerical...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in HSE: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Annie Hoey: It was helpful that Ms Ní Sheaghdha and Mr. Ginley highlighted that team element because it is frustrating when people do not understand that a plethora of people work in patient care, including clerical, administrative and all the medical staff. It was helpful to hear that on the record. When people throw out these willy-nilly comments suggesting that if we could just get rid of a...

Seanad: Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages (17 Jul 2024)

Annie Hoey: Everything has already been said by people who are much more informed about this matter and much more eloquent than I am but I will highlight some of the things that have been brought up with those of us in the Labour grouping by the ICCL, the Immigrant Council of Ireland, Nasc, IHREC and a number of other organisations that have expressed fair concerns about the legislation and about whether...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Freedom and Security of the Press Operating in Areas of Conflict: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)

Annie Hoey: I thank everyone for everything. It has been very interesting but it is very difficult to hear the realities faced by people. I only have one question and maybe it is one of those ones that is possibly up in the ether. In the context of the situation in Gaza, which is at the forefront, as well as Ukraine and other conflicts, what does justice, if that is the right word, look like for those...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Freedom and Security of the Press Operating in Areas of Conflict: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)

Annie Hoey: It is a general question. It is probably in an international context but it is open to anyone. That is my only question.

Seanad: Migration: Statements (10 Jul 2024)

Annie Hoey: I congratulate the Minister on his elevation to the leadership of the Green Party. I wish him the best of luck in everything he does with that in the next couple of months. While I welcome this discussion on migration, I echo Senator Seery Kearney's sentiments that it can, ultimately, make one very nervous. We can see how easy it is for snippets and conversations to become manipulated...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Jul 2024)

Annie Hoey: I also want to be associated with the remarks made about the late John O'Mahony and to pass on my Labour Party sympathies to his family and to all who knew him. This Saturday, 13 July, the Trans and Intersex Pride Dublin march will be held. They are meeting at 12 noon at the Garden of Remembrance. I encourage everyone here to attend but if Members cannot attend, to take the time to learn...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: State Response to Online Disinformation and Media and Digital Literacy: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)

Annie Hoey: I was in my office and chairing earlier on, so I was following two different sections. There have been many flashpoints of disinformation and misinformation but one that jumps to mind for me is the Dublin riots. There was a flashpoint there where a correlation, a combination or a coming together of all sorts of different things resulted in what was an extraordinarily serious situation. It...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: State Response to Online Disinformation and Media and Digital Literacy: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)

Annie Hoey: It is very interesting what Ms Richardson said about the algorithm and feeding something to the top of it, because I had the most bizarre things coming up. Obviously I was looking for it so the algorithm was then just feeding me any old deranged rubbish. I was thinking that this was clearly insanity but people were furiously retweeting it and believing it. Therefore, there is that idea of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Jun 2024)

Annie Hoey: For Pride month and indeed Pride week, I want to talk about a key part of my community that continues to be left behind. As much needs to be done to improve the lives of trans people here in Ireland, I will list out some of the ways we can improve trans people's lives in Ireland and there might be something for parties to consider as we are in manifesto-writing season and, perhaps, thinking...

I also welcome the Senator’s parents, Pat Seery and Patsy Mahedy Seery, and other members of her family, including her daughter, Scarlett Seery Kearney, and her sisters-in-law, Michelle Kearney and Rosemary Kearney. They are all incredibly welcome to the...
