- Rural Crime: Motion (21 Nov 2017)
Lisa Chambers: The issue of rural crime is real but this Government consistently plays down the problem, telling us the figures are actually going down rather than up. What is going down is the reporting of crime, not the crime rate itself. I commend my colleague for bringing this motion to the House. It has three key objectives. The first is to help gardaí. Two aspects of this are increasing...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Business of Joint Committee (22 Nov 2017)
Lisa Chambers: I mean this as no criticism but I agree with Senator Ruane that in terms of bias and speaking time, Senator Mullen and Deputy McGrath have had far more speaking time allocated than was given to other members. I believe the Chairman gave extreme latitude to those members to the committee, and I understand why she did so, but it was not appreciated, which is regrettable. There are certain...

Lisa Chambers: I thank Ms McDermott for attending. To join with Deputy O'Sullivan, I am disgusted to hear that Ms McDermott was treated that way in a hospital. It is not okay. There should be proper care, counselling and support for every family in that situation. I hope that it is not a regular occurrence. It is good that we got to hear that side of things. Could Ms McDermott tell us more about One...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: Ms Liz McDermott, One Day More (22 Nov 2017)
Lisa Chambers: I thank Ms McDermott. That was informative. It sounds like One Day More is doing fantastic work. A lady presented to us a number of weeks ago.

I was moved by it and found her story...

Lisa Chambers: Yes, and it is me today. I thank the witnesses for travelling to be with us, making their presentations and taking questions. Professor Gevers might put on his legal hat. As he knows, our law guarantees the equal right to life of the mother and the unborn. What is his legal opinion as to the difficulties that poses or why would he not agree with that equation legally?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Obstetric Medicine in the Netherlands: Professor Sjef Gevers and Professor Eva Pajkrt, University of Amsterdam (23 Nov 2017)
