Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and certain related Matters) Records, and another Matter, Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Second Stage (21 Oct 2020)

Catherine Connolly: The Minister has moved that the Bill be read a Second Time, Deputy Bríd Smith objected to that and I took a few minutes to reflect on and check it. The Deputy raised an interesting point but there is no provision for her objection. There were two votes last night. I was in the Chair when we took the votes on the motion on sitting arrangements. That was when the business was set out...

Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and certain related Matters) Records, and another Matter, Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Second Stage (21 Oct 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I hear what the Deputy is saying and she is making a good argument. However, the motion on how we proceed today was put last night and it was passed by a majority of the House. Under Standing Order 176(1) on the Second Reading of a Bill: The debate on the motion, that the Bill be now read a second time, shall be confined to the general principle of the Bill. It goes on to say what can...

Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and certain related Matters) Records, and another Matter, Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Second Stage (21 Oct 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I understand where the Deputy is coming from. I am sorry but I will not allow a debate on it. At this point I have to make a ruling on it. I perfectly understand what the Deputy is saying. It is part of the system that I read out that the Bill will now be read a Second Time and nobody can object to that at this point. In my limited experience and understanding of the system, it is not...

Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and certain related Matters) Records, and another Matter, Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Second Stage (21 Oct 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I am sharing time with Deputy Pringle. I wish I could say I welcome the opportunity to speak to this debate but "welcome" does not come to my mind. I feel nauseated at the language being turned on its head, the same language of "It is for your own good" that was used to put people into these homes and so on. I listened carefully to the language used during the debate and have tried...

Catherine Connolly: Tuigim cás an Chathaoirligh. Níl mé ag iarraidh brú a chur air ach soiléiriú a fháil. Bhí botún déanta. Tuigim é sin - déanaimid go léir botúin - ach cén fáth a bhfuil sé ag tógáil an méid sin ama chun an botún a réiteach? Sin an píosa nach dtuigim.

Catherine Connolly: I dtús báire, ba mhaith liom gach rath a ghuí ar an gCathaoirleach ina ról nua agus déanaim comhghairdeas leis. Ní bhfuair mé an deis é sin a rá an uair dheireanach. Fáiltím roimh an gCoimisinéir Teanga ar ais. Bhí sé os ár gcomhair go minic i seomraí difriúla roimhe ach tá an fhadhb ceannann...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (22 Oct 2020)

Catherine Connolly: 4. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the criteria for groups and or organisations to access funding made available by her Department to community and voluntary groups to support their response to Covid-19; the way in which decisions to allocate funding to such groups were made; the reason an organisation (details supplied) was denied such funding; and if she will...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (22 Oct 2020)

Catherine Connolly: My question is brief. It is about the welcome funding that the Minister's Department has provided to voluntary and community groups, which has been refused to a specific group. It seems to me that it was done on the basis of morality. I hope not. I am trying to determine what the policies and criteria were, and if they are publicly available.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (22 Oct 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I take hope from the Minister's reply and also despair a little. I welcome that there is a report regarding the 2017 Act. Will the Minister give a date for when it will be completed? I am a little confused. I welcome all the funding she has outlined, which is very positive. This particular organisation has written to the Department and the Department has written back, asking it for a...
