- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (31 May 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: I have only got five minutes, and there are two minutes left. The other issue which I want to talk about is adverse incidents. Baby Christopher was born in the National Maternity Hospital. He was a fully healthy baby born aborted under the foetal fatal abnormality element of the Bill. Did Ms O'Shea speak to his mother?

Peadar Tóibín: Okay. One of the aspects of this particular review is there seems to be a clash over access and the qualification of the medical professional who delivers care for the mother. I have spoken to the mother in this case. She is disappointed that she has not had a conversation with Ms O'Shea. In her view the idea of reducing it to one obstetrician to make the decision would mean the...

Peadar Tóibín: It is hard to overstate the anger among people about the increases in fuel today. We are in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis, a situation where people are in poverty, and where people are in arrears with bills. We are also in a situation where the Government has never taken in as much fuel tax in the history of the State, yet Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party are hiking...

- Criminal Justice (Engagement of Children in Criminal Activity) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 Jun 2023)
Peadar Tóibín: The Taoiseach's trip to Washington this year was defined by gaffes and mistakes. I was alarmed when he said about human trafficking: "It's not a particular issue for us in Ireland because our seas are so vast that people can't get there on small boats." I had to read it twice when I saw it reported from Washington. It will have come as a shock to anyone in the United States Government,...

- Criminal Justice (Engagement of Children in Criminal Activity) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 Jun 2023)
Peadar Tóibín: I am not saying that at all. If the Minister of State had listened to what I said, he would know I did not say that. Rather, I am saying that the child himself or herself is not involved in a criminal activity if he or she is being exploited sexually. The penalties in the Bill are weak. Child criminal exploitation is a form of human trafficking and should be considered a serious form of...
