Order of Business (11 Jul 2013)

Catherine Murphy: When is the legislation on the pyrite levy likely to be published and when will it go through the House? It is critical to commencing the remediation of homes. I understand the assisted decision-making (capacity) Bill was before the Cabinet this week. Will it come before the House and be concluded in the next session?

Estimates for Public Services 2013: Motion (11 Jul 2013)

Catherine Murphy: I regret there is so little time to deal with the issue. Anybody looking on would say that given the amount of time slotted for this, as compared that given to the Protection of Life during Pregnancy Bill, important as it is, we have skewed priorities in how time is ordered. I refer in particular to Vote 25, how we spend our money and value for money. There are 100,000 individuals or...

Catherine Murphy: The establishment of a court of appeal to handle the bulk of cases emanating from the High Court is long overdue and welcome. Unfortunately, I cannot stand here and not criticise the manner in which the Bill is passing through Second Stage today, although the guillotine may not be required to be used. The Bill was published on Tuesday. We have a full slate of legislation and have had very...

Catherine Murphy: The Bill deals with the equal right to life of the woman. I have set out my own position in that I do not think the Bill goes far enough, but we have to deal with the parameters in front of us. This Bill is supposed to provide legal clarity. The amendments tabled by myself and others proposing to include the words "neither immediate nor inevitable" give that clarity which should be...

Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) (11 Jul 2013)

Catherine Murphy: I will try to avoid duplicating the points made by other speakers because I agree with most of them. We are discussing an exceptional situation involving very small numbers, given the restrictive nature of the legislation. There are already onerous obligations in terms of putting together a panel, but the community of clinicians involved is small and will probably be self-selecting within...

Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) (11 Jul 2013)

Catherine Murphy: Amendment No. 82 establishes a duty of care on behalf of a practitioner or an institution. We all realise it takes considerable time to establish or change a culture in an organisation. If one has an explicit duty, that assists in defining the kind of culture there is. I mentioned it last night in relation to the Liverpool hospital that I visited and how Irish women felt judged in going to...
