Violence Against Women: Statements (19 Jan 2022)

Kathleen Funchion: ...data together. I am always struck in these debates by our history in relation to women. Since the foundation of the State, we have not had a good history in this regard, in particular with the Magdalen laundries and mother and baby institutions.

Bríd Smith: .... They cannot ban it outright or object to it outright but they will try to chip away at it. The kind of Ireland that would bring us back to is the kind of Ireland that saw mother and baby homes, Magdalen laundries, symphysiotomy and women being absolutely ignored in terms of their medical needs. We, as Deputies, are not in a position to pass laws that say whether medical procedures...

Mother and Baby Institutions: Statements (25 Nov 2021)

Catherine Connolly: ...threatened on a regular basis if you are a boy or a girl, in Lenaboy and Lower Salthill. Then, if you were really bad you were threatened with Letterfrack. If that was not enough, there was the Magdalen home in the city. We then go eastwards to Tuam, not to mention Loughrea. There is a whole debate there in relation to power. Perhaps ironic is not the word, but it is ironic that since...

Education (Health, Relationships and Sex Education) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (24 Nov 2021)

Gary Gannon: .... I am not anti-Catholic; I am against a system of control and systematic abuse. I am against a system that abused people in this country for decades and that led to the mother and baby homes, the Magdalen laundries, and a scenario in which people were told contraception, divorce and IVF were wrong and that loving a person of the same sex as oneself was wrong. That is what I am opposed...

Holly Cairns: ...are rectified. Survivors will rightly reject it and they will be supported by society.

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: ...of Christianity, which I believe has little to do with the words of love and forgiveness that we find in the Gospel. Grace's life is linked by that dark thread to the industrial schools, to the Magdalen laundries and to all those repressive outworkings of an unhealthy relationship between church and State which existed from the foundation of the State. Prior to her birth, Grace's...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Nov 2021)

Catherine Connolly: ...time to learn from previous schemes. In the redress institutional scheme we created an offence such that if somebody disclosed what they got, they committed a criminal offence. Then we set up the Magdalen scheme and the Ombudsman told us there was maladministration. Then we set up Caranua, which was an insult to the Irish language because we talked about a new friend when it was the old...

We are a huge group. We are not insignificant. We have...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mother and Baby Homes Inquiries (7 Oct 2021)

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: ...perhaps we should try to have more communication with different groups of survivors. History does not inspire survivors. Look at what happened with Caranua. Look at the Ombudsman report into the Magdalen redress scheme. Years later, some women have yet to receive compensation and medical support. We cannot let that happen in this case.
