Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I believe the module is really important because it deals with the impact of Ireland's international legal obligations in terms of our domestic law. In that respect, some people might present international law as a sort of optional extra. Will the witnesses give a little bit more detail and explain why Ireland is bound by these obligations when we talk of violation and the State being sued?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I thank both contributors. I will direct more of my questions to Ms Zampas because I think her contribution was very evidence-based. We are dealing with changing our laws here. Professor Binchy is obviously entitled to his opinion. He explained very well how that opinion may be at odds with practically every human rights body on the planet, including with our own Irish Human Rights and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I ask Professor Binchy to try to be a bit brief. I am not being rude but we have a time limit. One could view it as an international political conspiracy whereby everybody is trying to orchestrate a position towards broad-ranging abortion provision, or one could interpret it that Professor Binchy's views are very much out of kilter with established norms in terms of international human...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I know what Professor Binchy is saying. There is no recognised right to life before birth in international treaties.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: In that context, Professor Binchy said the stark choice facing this committee amounted to the option of wide-ranging abortion. Would he not agree that Ireland has an abortion rate pretty much the same as other countries in which abortion is freely available? In actual fact, the question is whether people can access an abortion service at home or, as is the case under the present status quo...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I find that interesting. I do not want to engage too much with Professor Binchy but I have one last question and I would appreciate if he dealt with it quickly. The Professor talked about equality earlier. When he was campaigning for a "No" vote in the marriage equality referendum, he stated: "True equality never requires the pretence that two relationships with different capacity are the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: It does say that, yes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: It is quoted in an article on marriage equality, but I think Professor Binchy is trying to deflect.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: Okay.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: For the purposes of today I will say that professor did not say that. I will say that it was my mistake, even though I know it was not. Will the witness answer the question I asked him?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: In Professor Binchy's opinion, is the life of a born woman equal to that of a foetus when there is a conflict of rights?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: If Professor Binchy wishes we can certainly do that. We can exchange quotes later on. I notice that none of his contribution was referenced but we can deal with that now. We are trying to develop guidance for changing our legislation. I would like to ask a question of Ms Zampas. International human rights law is evolving all the time. Our challenge here is to change our law to be in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: Would it be fair to say that reasons-based legislation is increasingly out of kilter with international best practice from the point of view of complicating access? Would it be fair to say that the starting point is the issue of accessing health care services? I believe that the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission was of the view that this should be looked at from a health point of view.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: In the context of access to safe abortion in Ireland, the option of travel, which was used before, is clearly insufficient.
