Calling for a debate on the work of the NCCA.

Their recent report on the consultation on the draft social personal and health education curriculum for schools tries to reflect the various opinions expressed by parents, some of whom are concerned about the direction of relationship and sexuality education and who are keen to see respect for the ethos of individual schools, their characteristic spirit and so on.

We need a debate in this country about whether in fact parents are to be respected as the primary educators. We need to hear from the NCCA on this and we also need to hear from the Minister for Education.

Are you bright-ish?

Friends, I need a couple of people to join my team at this Zambia Appeal Group table quiz next Wednesday. I’m a mid-ranking participant myself so don’t expect any prizes unless you’re winning them for us. But fun will be had. Direct message me if you are interested in joining my team and I’ll call you back. The Zambia Appeal Group do fantastic work so if you are in or near Dublin on Wednesday 1st February why not book in and come along anyway. We’ll put more than one team together if we get the numbers. See you there hopefully.

During the week I called on the Minister for Health not to recklessly make telemedicine abortion permanent but to immediately instigate a comprehensive investigation into the operation and impact of such abortion appointments in Ireland to date.

The very least we could do in this House is to have a serious discussion about something so potentially far-reaching. You can watch back my contribution on facebook.com/senatormullen

I was delighted to speak with Caoimhe Harney on Kfm Radio Kildare this afternoon about the Oireachtas Essay Competition.

Second level students can register until 30th October and submit their essays for the Competition by midday on Thursday, 8th December.

Over €4,000 worth of prizes will be awarded to the eventual winners, who will be invited along with their teachers and parents to attend an awards ceremony in Leinster House in Spring 2023.

‘Parliamentary Politics Matters’ is the theme – aiming to help young people engage with the democratic process.

Three weeks ago, I asked the Minister for Health about the precise legal situation relating to the restrictions on public worship. I still have received no response whatsoever

I wonder what this says about the way the organs and apparatus of State are treating not just the public, but public representatives, who have a job to ask questions on behalf of the public.

We have all since discovered that the Government moved quickly and silently to change these restrictions so as to ensure that such public worship, the organisation of or attendance at which, is actually an offence. It did that without telling anybody publicly that it was doing so, mending its hand, it would seem, in the context of a court case that we all know is ongoing.

Tax the rich if you will but when it comes to keeping people safe from Covid, no child or school should be discriminated against.

Human trafficking is a practice affecting 40 milli

Human trafficking is a practice affecting 40 million people globally, generating annual profits of at least $32 billion according to The International Labour Organisation. It is a tragedy of brutalising and epidemic proportions that can only be tackled effectively through the adoption and implementation of the highest standards.

Read my statement on my website (link in bio) in response to the news that Ireland's ranking in the fight against human trafficking has been downgraded by the US State Department.
