- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (29 Nov 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: Why we are rerunning the referendum tonight? Not only are these are the Final Stages of the Bill, we had a debate for months with the population in every constituency. We knocked on doors and spoke to people. I have often been in a minority and I often will be in the Dáil. People may not like the result, but it is disingenuous to come to the House and bring all of these subjects up...
- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (29 Nov 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: There are people watching. I ask Members to consider that ten people are leaving the country today or tonight.

There is a reality, however, that people expected the legislation to be in place by January while...

- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (29 Nov 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: The phrase "cultural people" was used last night; it did not even make sense.

First, I represent a constituency where one in four people was born outside Ireland, which includes people from India and Pakistan. Second, it is...

Ruth Coppinger: Does the Tánaiste think it is now time to pass legislation banning outsourcing in healthcare, given what we can read in today'sIrish Independent? There is a backlog of 80,000 tests from women who underwent cervical screening in recent months. CervicalCheck has issued a warning on its website about a wait of more than five months in a small number of cases. This follows revelations that...
