Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Second Stage (27 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: It is significant that quite a number of Deputies have ignored their speaking slots in respect of such an important topic. I will leave that at that. The Minister said in his speech: "The scheme will recognise the time spent and the harsh conditions, emotional abuse and other forms of mistreatment, stigma and trauma experienced by people while resident in a mother and baby or county home...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: White Papers (27 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister for clarifying that submissions are still being accepted. I thank the Minister who will be dealing with the next questions on the progress that has been made. However, we have been waiting on the policy for the islands for so long and on interdepartmental reports. Going back to the topic of seaweed, these are good news stories we are ignoring. I am only picking two...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: International Agreements (27 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I would love to hear the voice of the Tánaiste on this because we need leadership on it. I understand he is in possession of a letter from more than 18 non-governmental organisations, including the Irish Council for Civil Liberties.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: White Papers (27 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister. The White Paper will be crucial to set out the policy for Ireland. I had hoped to make a submission. I read all the documentation and I got as far as writing a draft submission. I took the trouble to read it and what troubles me is that in theory we will make a change but the documentation I read suggests that we are continuing in the same direction. The Minister...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: International Agreements (27 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I would also like that question answered. It is specific. I have had the advantage over Deputy Paul Murphy of reading it. The Minister of State is not dealing with the question in the context of what is Ireland's position.
