Retention of Records Bill 2019: Second Stage (2 Apr 2019)

Clare Daly: ..., redress, and access to justice, the State has engaged in denial, delay, gagging survivors and limiting the scope of investigations. It has left people behind in respect of Bethany Home and the Magdalen laundries and has given indemnity to many perpetrators, including St. Patrick's Guild and the like. It has let religious orders off the hook for the financial bill and traumatised many...

Clare Daly: ...ensuring that individuals whose records were falsified have access to information and redress".

Referendum of 25 May: Statements (29 May 2018)

Clare Daly: ...many women, it represented so much. It is almost like society atoning for everything it has done to women in this country; atoning for how we stigmatised women faced with crisis pregnancies, the Magdalen laundries, the mother and baby homes, the shaming, the forced adoptions and the robbed identities about which we will hear later this afternoon. It still goes on. The biggest...

Third Interim Report from the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes: Statements (13 Feb 2018)

Clare Daly: ...a further delay beyond next year. We need an assurance that it will not happen. We must also be cognisant of the very sharp criticism of the Ombudsman recently on the State's application in the Magdalen redress scheme. He was extremely critical of the way in which women's real experiences were not listened to, an over-reliance on documentation, not hearing people out and overly...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Administration of Magdalen Restorative Justice Scheme: Report of Ombudsman (31 Jan 2018)

Clare Daly: That is not the case. The Ombudsman has presented very strong evidence that the Department of Justice and Equality was well aware of the links between the units attached to the Magdalen laundries and the idea of people working in one of the laundries but being admitted to or resident in an adjacent building. The Ombudsman has presented very clearly how that does not refer to new...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Administration of Magdalen Restorative Justice Scheme: Report of Ombudsman (31 Jan 2018)

Clare Daly: .... Could Mr. Martin comment on that? He mentioned that 73 people were interviewed and of those 69 got redress. How many of those people got redress for the time that they claimed to be in a Magdalen laundry? Did they all get the full amount of the time they claimed to be in the laundry, or was it reduced in the context of this dispute over time? How many of the people interviewed and...

Animal Welfare: Motion [Private Members] (3 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: ...love their animals. I accept that. Of course farmers love their animals. They are the means to their livelihoods. Did people in Ireland years ago love their children when they sent them to Magdalen laundries because they were pregnant outside marriage or when they slapped them for being bold in school? Society changes and evolves and we have different standards of culture and ways of...

Topical Issue Debate: Residential Institutions Statutory Fund (29 Mar 2017)

Clare Daly: ...is absolutely reprehensible as far as I am concerned. Clearly, what we have here is the sort of continuation of the hard-line approach being adopted by the State to survivors which has been evident in the Magdalen laundries and in the exclusion of the Bethany homes from the mother and baby home inquiries. I do not think it is acceptable for the Minister or for other members of the...

Residential Institutions Statutory Fund (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (2 Mar 2017)

Clare Daly: ...in this situation. The general approach adopted by the State to victims is reprehensible. We saw it in the Harding Clark report on symphysiotomy. We see it in what is going on in the courts, with victims of the Magdalen laundries being pursued, the women who had their children forcibly removed from them and so on. It is reprehensible. This type of approach will come back to haunt us...

Topical Issue Debate: Symphysiotomy Payment Scheme (29 Nov 2016)

Clare Daly: ...scheme to begin with, bad and all as it is. I remind the Minister of State that it took a former Minister to go to court to get the Guerin report withdrawn. We know the McAleese report into the Magdalen laundries was hugely criticised and controversial. The point that is being made here is that this document cannot stand. In and of itself, it abuses the women involved. It has to be...
