- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Catherine Connolly: St. Vincent's Holdings would have been enriched immeasurably by that transfer of land.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Catherine Connolly: At the time, thanks to Dr. Boylan and other people, we got some insight into which aspects of Canon Law had to be complied with to allow for the transfer of the nuns' possession over St. Vincent's Holdings, but we have no clarity on that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Catherine Connolly: Dr. Boylan has already said it is important to get that documentation.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Catherine Connolly: The Government tells us not to worry about that because we now have St. Vincent's Holdings with a new constitution, St. Vincent's Healthcare Group with a new constitution, and the national maternity hospital designated activity company with a constitution and because those three constitutions set out that there should be no concern about religious influence because the organisations have now...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Catherine Connolly: That is one possible interpretation, or they might have come to some arrangement with St. Vincent's Holdings or St. Vincent's Healthcare Group. We do not know.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Catherine Connolly: Here we are now with a secular St. Vincent's Healthcare Group. Does Dr. Boylan know at what point it became secular?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)
Catherine Connolly: It assures us in the documentation we all have that it is now secular. Well, I think one part of the documentation says it is evolving into a secular group, but lately we have heard it is a secular group. Dr. Boylan cannot help us as to when it became a secular group.

I am talking about full ownership being given over to the State and the various legal documents stating that there are interconnections.

Catherine Connolly: I am over time. I have just one last point for Dr. Boylan. He has mentioned it a good few times and it touched me. I am talking about the change in autonomy from the woman to the clinician if we go with what is deemed clinically appropriate. Dr. Boylan might conclude on that for me, with the Chairperson's permission. The change is that we are taking autonomy from the woman and putting it...
