Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Mental Health Services: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Apr 2018)

...account for the children between 16 and 18 years who were not at school. We have a long history of not looking after the most vulnerable in society, from the Tuam mother and baby home, to Artane, the Magdalen laundries, Letterfrack industrial school and Wexford, where we had the Ferns and Monageer reports, to mention just a few. We are again letting down the most vulnerable children in...

Mary Lou McDonald: ...? I understand from media reports that he has finally agreed to implement the Ombudsman's recommendations following a scathing report late last year on the Department's administration of the Magdalen laundry redress scheme. The report came on foot of complaints made by 27 women who had been excluded by the Department from the scheme. Even after the investigation was complete, the first...

Maire Devine: I congratulate the Ombudsman, Mr. Peter Tyndall, on his tenacity and determination in getting the Government to accept his recommendations on redress for the Magdalen survivors. The previous attitude was one of reluctance. Ultimately, it was aimed at limiting the numbers of those who might qualify for redress. It was also mean-spirited in nature. Yesterday, however, the Government and the...

Charles Flanagan: ...of Employment Affairs and Social Protection in respect of pensions. It is important that we ensure such issues will be dealt with. I thank the Deputy for his comments on the conference for Magdalen women which is scheduled for June this year. It will be an excellent opportunity for those women who wish and are able to attend to meet others and participate fully in the events which...

Ivana Bacik: ...chill, for the sake of our daughters and for their generation. Mr. Gerry Edwards spoke movingly at the Together for Yes launch that we have stopped dropping pregnant women and girls at the doors of Magdalen laundries. We now need also to stop dropping our pregnant women and girls at the departure gates of our airports and ports. Those are really prescient and moving words. We should...

Marcella Corcoran Kennedy: ...an abortion in this country for 152 years. It is absolutely shocking that legislation from 1861 had such an effect on the medical profession in this country. We only have to think back to the Magdalen laundries, to Ann Lovett, the Tuam babies, the Kerry babies and so many other heart breaking cases to be reminded of how pregnant women suffered at the hands of both the Church and the...

Bríd Smith: Happy International Women's Day to everyone here and beyond, but in particular to the women of the Magdalen laundries, the subject of my question to the Tánaiste. Seven women of the Magdalen laundries have died since the former Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, made his apology to the House, and there is no sign of the redress being passed to these women. They have been treated...

Leaders' Questions (8 Mar 2018)

Imelda Munster: ..., including politics, leadership, government and academia. There is a lot of work left to do. The Government has yet to deliver on the commitments it made some five years ago to the survivors of the Magdalen laundries. It is an absolute shame that those survivors are still being forced to wait. The prevailing legacy of the eighth amendment is a blight on our society and one that...

Written Answers — Department of Justice and Equality: Magdalen Laundries (8 Mar 2018)

To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality his plans to implement the redress measures recommend by Mr. Justice Quirke, including back-dated pensions, access to a HAA standard card, access to the scheme for women who are deemed to lack capacity and funding for memorialisation in view of the appearance of the ombudsman at the Oireachtas justice committee to discuss his...

Pat Buckley: .... The lack of movement on this issue is not only denying the right to persons to have an input into their care but is also holding up further needed reform. Another side-effect is that the survivors of the Magdalen laundries have died without even having redress processed. We had a bit of flip-flopping tonight - we were talking about this - and it may have inconvenienced some of...

Katherine Zappone: ...on it. In light of those experiences, it must mean much to her that the Deputy is able to be here today and raise the issue not only on his own behalf, but on behalf of his mother and many other Magdalen laundry heroes, to use the language of my colleague. I acknowledge the Deputy's comments about the event on 5 and 6 June. I am generally in favour of, and have spoken at length about,...

Rose Conway Walsh: ...happening to women, to assess how far we have come or not come in some areas. Last month, it was exactly five years since the former Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, apologised to the women from the Magdalen laundries on behalf of the State. He made a very sincere apology. He said that Mr. Justice John Quirke’s review with the recommendations of the provision of payments and support...

Report on Lone Parents: Motion (15 Feb 2018)

Bríd Smith: ...not be left to one side, on top of the others on child poverty etc. that are piling up with no action being taken. In this House, we have had to look honestly at what the State did to women and children right back to the time of the Magdalene laundries and the time of the Tuam babies. I do not know how many times we have referred to this each week since I became a Deputy. It very much...

Catherine Ardagh: ...at home, sick and worried that their loans will be sold off and they have not been given any assurances by the Government to date. Finally, I wish to raise the issue of the State Ombudsman's report on the Magdalen restorative justice scheme and the scathing remarks of the Ombudsman, Mr. Tyndall, about the administration of the scheme. I raised in the House in November, when his report...

Maureen O'Sullivan: The issue of institutions, whether it be mother and baby homes, industrial schools or Magdalen laundries, is harrowing and very sad when we think of the lives lost and destroyed, not to mention the physical conditions and brutality experienced by so many. Few survivors have spoken about the care they received in the institutions. It is very difficult to comprehend how adults in the...

Seanad: Statement by the Taoiseach (1 Feb 2018)

Victor Boyhan: ...dreams. When I see a man and a woman begging on the streets in Dublin, when I see someone who comes to my office and has difficulty in tracing his or her family, or tells of an experience in the Magdalen laundry, or of abuse, they have not had their opportunities. It is important when we talk about a fairer society to remember we want a fairer society for all. Not for the squeezed...
