Jennifer Carroll MacNeill (FG), Dún Laoghaire

Okay, but I do not follow your Instagram, if you will forgive me. I deleted it from my phone and do not have access to it so cannot speak to that with the knowledge the Deputy has of yesterday's email or any of those things. What I can simply say again and again is gender-based violence is wrong and the way we handle it is very important. Incidents should be reported to An Garda Síochána, to the Medical Council in cases relating to the doctor's profession and to the NMBI in respect of nurses.
This House made a clear statement yesterday acknowledging that sexual and gender-based violence can happen within the medical profession as much as any other place, that nowhere is a perpetrator to be protected and that nowhere is a victim not to be heard. We said that loud and proud; certainly, these benches said it clearly yesterday.
