Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter, namely, to finally address thelong-standing request which Marie ThereseO'Loughlin has made to the Government to take responsibility, through the Residential Institutions Redress Board, for the injuries she sustained at the mother and baby unit at the Morning Star Mother and Baby Home in 1952, a request which has seen her spend more than one year sleeping rough outside the gates of Leinster House without even the courtesy of a meeting with a Minister.
