Group established after female representatives revealed scale of abuse received in course of their work
‘I miss breakfast rolls and the sense of humour but our life in the US has been as normal as anyone else’s with young kids’
After the final report is sent to Government, Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó Fearghaíl will move to set up an implementation group to ensure the recommendations are followed. “It won’t be a case of a report and no action, there will absolutely be follow up action,” he said on Friday. The membership includes the Women for Election chief executive Caitríona Gleeson, Independent TD Cathal Berry, Fianna Fáil Senator Fiona O’Loughlin, Senator Frances Black, Labour leader Ivana Bacik, Fianna Gael Minister of State Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, Fianna Fáil TD Jennifer Murnane O’Connor, Fianna Fáil Senator Lisa Chambers and Sinn Féin TD Sorca Clarke among others.
They will also look at the response of social media platforms in addressing online abuse and harassment. The Houses of the Oireachtas Service will provide administrative, legal and research services to the taskforce. The Cabinet earlier this month approved allowances for improved security, which will allow politicians claim 50 per cent of the cost of intruder alarms, CCTV, fixed panic buttons, and personal monitoring devices. Oireachtas members will be able to apply for a vouched reimbursement of 50 per cent of their approved security costs, up to a maximum of €5,000, whichever is the less.
