Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (12 Jun 2025)

Ruth Coppinger: How important does the Tánaiste think the issue of gender-based violence is? The United Nations and the WHO say it is the greatest threat to the health of women and girls in the world. There has been a record number of calls to Women's Aid and a rise in calls to gardaí regarding gender-based violence. I am struggling to find one measure the Government has introduced in its six...

Ruth Coppinger: Not every issue has to be defensive either.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (12 Jun 2025)

Ruth Coppinger: There is an irony in the Tánaiste saying we should all work together when the Government is stopping my Bill. The Government could have allowed the Bill to progress. We could debate it and it could amend it on Committee Stage. The problem with the Bill the Minister seems to be talking about is that it will not exclude the potential for counselling notes to be admitted. That is the...

Criminal Law (Prohibition of the Disclosure of Counselling Records) Bill 2025: Second Stage [Private Members] (12 Jun 2025)

Ruth Coppinger: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." In starting the debate on my Bill today, I am thinking in particular of the family of Annie McCarrick who disappeared 33 years ago but only now is a man being arrested in relation to that crime. Obviously, women do not disappear; something has to happen to them. We recall many other women in the 1990s who just suddenly disappeared and the...

Criminal Law (Prohibition of the Disclosure of Counselling Records) Bill 2025: Second Stage [Private Members] (12 Jun 2025)

Ruth Coppinger: We should register that it is poor the Minister is not here himself. No offence to the Minister of State but it is also poor that he is not even in the area of justice. He is in the Department of heritage and housing, I believe. This does not send a good message. What the Minister of State has read out is even more disappointing than I thought it was going to be. Listen to what the...

Criminal Law (Prohibition of the Disclosure of Counselling Records) Bill 2025: Second Stage [Private Members] (12 Jun 2025)

Ruth Coppinger: No, that is a fact. The idea that judges are always right and should have arbitration on this is not right. I do not agree with giving all power to a judge. I thank the Sinn Féin Deputies who have stayed and contributed to the debate on a Thursday evening. It is a pity there were not more parties. How many more women and people, because we had male victims in the Gallery when...
