Northern Ireland: Statements (13 Dec 2017)

Bríd Smith: ...it is an inconvenience to trade but because a hard border will strengthen partition.

Jim O'Callaghan: We can all agree that the incarceration of women in Magdalen laundries was one of the most shameful periods of Irish history. It reflected badly on all aspects of Irish society.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: Mr. Peter Thompson, Birmingham Women's and Children's Hospital (29 Nov 2017)

Catherine Murphy: ...the fact that the legal and health care systems in the UK cater for a significant number of Irish women, and has done so for decades. Given our experience with mother and baby homes and Magdalen laundries, we are not in a position to be shouting from the rooftop in terms of how women have been treated in this country.

Leaders' Questions (28 Nov 2017)

Mick Wallace: ...so much and yet the Department is prepared to go down blind alleys with it that will incur huge costs for the State. We listened to the Ombudsman recently reprimand the Department for its handling of the Magdalen redress scheme. It is mad stuff. I do not know for how much longer the Taoiseach will be in office. I do not know how in God's name he will rebuild the toxic relationship...
