Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Dec 2018)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I have tabled the amendment because it might help if the Minister answered very specific questions. In the Bill "avert" means to eliminate, not merely reduce and mitigate. Are there agreed examples of conditions where a termination will always eliminate the risk to life or risk of serious harm to health? I do not think so. Will the aversion condition ever be satisfied in cases of risk to...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I welcome the witnesses here today. It is a pleasure and a privilege to hear about their work and to listen to their belief in what they do, and I believe in what they do. I was at the European Parliament with my colleague about a month ago for the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 and it was interesting to hear about the number of countries where their wonderful heritage and...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I apologise for having to leave, but I wanted to participate in the Seanad debate on the legislation that has been introduced on foot of the repeal of the eighth amendment, which is a very profound issue.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Network of Regional and Local Museums: Discussion (12 Dec 2018)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: The Country Life museum, a very distinctive and distinguished museum, kind of gets caught in the hedge itself then. The point really is the one all of the witnesses are making. Funding is terribly important. Having people to run things is as important as the building itself. The preservation of the building can happen only if people are there to open the door and bring in schools and art...
