Ruth Coppinger: We need to build a massive campaign to force these people to act. We need to look to Poland, Spain and other countries where mass mobilisations took place and wiped away the conservatism that is innate. In regard to ROSA, I appeal to people to join in the day of action on repeal of the eighth amendment this Saturday at 12 noon.

Ruth Coppinger: In his speech, the Minister for Health, Deputy Simon Harris, gave a picture that there would a terrible political and legal vacuum if we had a referendum to repeal the eighth amendment.

Obviously,...

Ruth Coppinger: The Minister suggested it in his speech. Four years on, that horrific situation has not been dealt with. We can and will, unfortunately, have more Savitas, unless there is a change. I remind Deputy Kate O'Connell that she ran on a pro-choice platform in the general election. Tonight was her first opportunity since she came into the Dáil to actually vote for a motion which vindicates...

Ruth Coppinger: I will refer first to the Government amendment to the Bill, which is seen by people as a disgraceful manoeuvre. The Dáil and the electorate are very clear about what is happening, namely, that Fine Gael and, unfortunately, Independents are now opposing the repeal of the eighth amendment. They are ensuring that it will never happen within the lifetime of this Government because the...

Ruth Coppinger: The Government is proposing to oppose the Bill to repeal the eighth amendment yet it is reported in the news by the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Katherine Zappone, that the Government is not.
