Leaders' Questions (14 May 2015)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I wish to discuss the issue of children. We have had appalling examples of mistreatment of children in the past. We had the Magdalen laundries, the industrial schools and mother and baby homes. We have seen abuse in families, by members of the clergy and in swimming circles. The children involved were deprived of innocence, laughter and fun, all of which should be associated with...

Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (26 Mar 2015)

...we did not join the dots together. Maybe that is the case but if one looks back into recent history, is that not the case also with the child abuse crisis, the role of the Catholic Church, the Magdalen laundries, Letterfrack and everything?

Hildegarde Naughton: ...stereotype. Until the introduction of the Status of Children Act 1987, the concept of bastardry and illegitimacy was alive and well in our system.

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...years, they forcibly separated children from their mothers simply because their parents were not married, incarcerated children in mother and baby homes and orphanages and incarcerated mothers in Magdalen laundries where many of them were enslaved and treated appallingly?

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: The only difference is, as Senator Norris already outlined, the medication or services that were specific to hepatitis C. That is the only difference because it would not be relevant to the Magdalen women. That is the only reason and it is the only change.
