Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Soláthar Oideachais lán-Ghaeilge: An Foras Pátrúnachta (4 Dec 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá ceist amháin simplí agam. Breathnaíonn sé domsa dá mbeadh an córas atá in úsáid i láthair na huaire ag an Roinn Oideachais agus Scileanna i bhfeidhm nuair a bunaíodh na scoileanna náisiúnta den chéad uair, ní bheadh aon scoil lán-Ghaeilge sa tír dubh, bán nó riabhach mar bheadh tromlach I...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I hope not to take the full seven minutes. I also hope to bring some rationality to what is happening. My understanding of the debate is that the proposal is for parental notification to be included in the Bill. If I understand the situation in all similar medical procedures, and given the Minister's response to Deputy Butler last night, parental notification is already in the medical...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I understand that some Deputies believe that parental notification should not be included in the Bill. Do they also believe that they should not be in the medical guidelines?

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will let them speak for themselves. I am not referring to the Minister, but to some of the Deputies who were vehemently against parental notification in their contributions. They did not qualify that by saying they would be happy with such a provision in the medical guidelines. My understanding is that, under the amendment as drafted, one would have to go to the High Court where the...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Unfortunately, the amendment in front of us does not incorporate the wording that is in the Medical Council guidelines. Of course, if the Minister agreed in principle, that issue could be dealt with very simply. The Minister could give us an undertaking here that when he goes to the Seanad, he will bring forward an amendment that would bring what he says is there, what I accept is there and...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We are discussing several amendments. I welcome the Minister's amendment extending the right to conscience to the candidate division of the registrar, in other words, to students. That is a small step in the right direction. I listened with great care to my colleague, Deputy Brassil. Having listened to the Minister's explanation, I do not think he dealt with the issues raised by Deputy...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2018)

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is on lines 12 and 13 of page 6. That was what I always understood it to be. It was traditionally the practice of good medicine in Ireland, and anyone who says anything to the contrary does not know what really good medical practice was about. This goes to the core of the dilemma facing medical practitioners, midwives, nurses and doctors. Are there two patients or one? As I have said...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The interruptions lasted for closer to a minute. Doctors do not want to be forced to act against their conscience. This is the only issue here. I accept the result of the referendum. I have always said so. I also accepted the result of the referendum in 1983, which some people boast about not accepting, but that is as it may be. To force medical people to act against the interest of one...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local Government Bill 2018: Committee Stage (5 Dec 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am a member of the Sub-Committee on Dáil Reform. We passed a mammoth memorandum to do with pre-legislative scrutiny on Government notices, but in the main for Bills that have approximately three sections. Without any pre-legislative scrutiny the Minister has written a new Bill in an old Bill. He has doubled the size of the Bill. I could not believe it when I looked at my computer...
