I appreciate that the Minister of State is speaking on behalf of the...

Fidelma Healy Eames: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I was hoping the Minister for Education would be able to be here, but I know he has been detained for the sake of the Magdalen apology in the Dáil. The story I will bring to the attention of the Minister of State is one I expect he will hear a lot more about and I believe it is a national story. It is a national disgrace to leave the children...

- Seanad: Order of Business (20 Feb 2013)
Fidelma Healy Eames: I met them this morning in Buswells Hotel and they were so happy they were walking 10 ft. tall. They put it to me that a great weight had been lifted off their shoulders. They are new women today. However, I am not only proud for the Magdalen women, I am proud for Ireland. We have had such a blackened and hidden past but what we did as a Government yesterday lifted the veil off that....
- Seanad: Order of Business (20 Feb 2013)
Fidelma Healy Eames: Any of these people could have been our sisters, mothers or daughters. This is highly significant and I wish to put as much on the record.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Social Welfare Appeals: Discussion with Department of Social Protection (20 Feb 2013)
Fidelma Healy Eames: The witnesses are very welcome. I acknowledge the improvements but it does not make for easy reading. Like Senator Moloney's experience, I met a woman recently who had been seeking invalidity pension for one and a half years before approaching me. She believed the entire country was down on her. With the help of the Oireachtas line, we got a response for her within approximately six weeks...
