Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Risks to Mental Health of Pregnant Women: Professor Veronica O'Keane (25 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I thank Professor O'Keane for coming in. I know we are pushed for time but I have a couple of quick questions. Professor O'Keane was correct to pinpoint the Citizens' Assembly clearly stating there should not be a distinction between physical and mental health. The irony is, of course, the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act very much makes that distinction, in that it puts up...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Risks to Mental Health of Pregnant Women: Professor Veronica O'Keane (25 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I think that is helpful. The need for flexibility has been a theme we have heard from other medical practitioners. This is something that comes up at all of our meetings.

Can Professor O'Keane advise on the mental health impact on women and, potentially, doctors based on her expertise? We...

Clare Daly: I thank the witnesses for coming in. Deputy Jan O'Sullivan was right that we need to contextualise why we are here. I think we are here discussing this topic because repeatedly it has been shown that Irish people believe that in circumstances where somebody has become pregnant as a result of rape, the person should not be forced to continue with the pregnancy against her will. That does...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination Arising From Rape: Mr. Tom O'Malley, NUI Galway; Dublin Rape Crisis Centre; and Dr. Maeve Eogan, Rotunda Hospital (25 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: Does the European solution of no restrictions as to reason take account of practically all or the vast majority of the cases where somebody would be impregnated as a result of rape and may seek a termination? My last question is for all of the witnesses.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Mortgage Arrears Resolution (Family Home) Bill 2017: Discussion (25 Oct 2017)

Clare Daly: I thank the witnesses for being here today. They have played an important role in articulating precisely the common sense approach that is sadly lacking. The Waterford Whispers Newsarticle in which the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, points his finger at the banks, saying "bad bank", "very bad bank", "bold, bold bank", while at the same time they carry on regardless probably best sums...
