- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Oct 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: That was really helpful. Many people who would not be familiar with being pregnant might find it hard to wrap their heads around the concept that people do not have a full 12 weeks to decide but actually only have a very limited time. When one factors in a three-day wait on top of that, it can be extremely problematic, even with the best will in the world. As Dr. Conlon outlined, for...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Oct 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I have one final question. Reference was made to the WHO's abortion care guidelines. Would our guests recommend that the Department of Health engages with experts in the WHO vis-à-visthose guidelines when drafting any upcoming legislation in relation to this?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Oct 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: My time is very limited but I want to talk about barriers to care, a number of which are outlined in the report. Are our guests aware of certain groups of people who experience particular barriers to care? I am thinking, for example, of people in direct provision, people who are based in rural areas-----

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: In fairness, Deputy Crowe is a member of the committee and we were all double-booked. I think he should be allowed in with just one question.

- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Court Accommodation (8 Nov 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: The Minister of State is very welcome. I realise this is not his Department so I appreciate his taking the time to come and answer this on behalf of the Minister for Justice. My Commencement concerns the long-awaited family law court complex at Hammond Lane. We are long past needing a new family law court complex for Dublin. Dolphin House and Phoenix House are not fit for purpose. The...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Court Accommodation (8 Nov 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I am left feeling a bit cold after that answer, to be honest. It is not the Minister of State's fault - I know it is not his Department - but there was absolutely nothing in that that we did not know. I want to know why the projects were decoupled. When was that decision made? We all know the two Garda stations were decoupled. Why was that done? Why did the Minister say in October 2022...

- Seanad: Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination and Public Display) Bill 2022: Second Stage (22 Nov 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I thank the Minister for coming to the Seanad to discuss this ground-breaking legislation. I commend him on introducing it because it is long overdue. It brings us into line with best practice in other leading European countries. The Minister has quite ably outlined the two aspects to this, the organ retention and post mortem side of it, and the organ donation side of it. As he mentioned,...
- Seanad: Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination and Public Display) Bill 2022: Second Stage (22 Nov 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: People are waiting on this. They have waited for this Bill for years. The Irish Kidney Association and many others have been working towards this day and the completion of this Bill. I commend the Minister on working so hard to bring this about. Organ donation has always been a difficult topic to discuss with next of kin because such discussions invariably happen in the context of a very...

- Seanad: Public Health (Tobacco Products and Nicotine Inhaling Products) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (28 Nov 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I move amendment No. 2: In page 20, lines 28 to 33, to delete all words from and including "(1) Subject" in line 28 down to and including line 33 and substitute the following: "It shall be an offence for a person to advertise a nicotine inhaling product in a cinema." This is a very important amendment from my two colleagues. I am sure everyone agrees that it makes sense. The cinema...
- Seanad: Public Health (Tobacco Products and Nicotine Inhaling Products) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (28 Nov 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I appreciate the Minister’s response. It was proportionate. The passage of this legislation as quickly as possible should be the priority of everybody in these Houses. I understand the Minister not wanting to pass comment while the public consultation process is under way. I appreciate that and hope that in the fullness of time, we will see this issue encapsulated in the second...
