Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Institutional Burials Bill 2022: Committee Stage (3 May 2022)

Holly Cairns: I move amendment No. 4: “In page 10, line 36, to delete “ordinarily”.” As an opening, I want to say that it is extraordinary that in this discussion that concerns the legacy of Church-run institutions for their control of pregnant women and their children, the Government is simultaneously handing over a €100 billion maternity hospital to a religiously...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Institutional Burials Bill 2022: Committee Stage (3 May 2022)

Holly Cairns: I appreciate that. However, to most people, if you stayed one night in a hotel or anywhere else, you would not in normal language consider that that person is ordinarily a resident there. Clarification on that would therefore be great. I thank the Minister for looking into that. If the term is to be included, perhaps a definition would be useful, so as to be clear that it does include...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Institutional Burials Bill 2022: Committee Stage (3 May 2022)

Holly Cairns: I move amendment No. 5: In page 10, line 36, to delete “and” and substitute “or”. These amendments stress another restriction in the Bill. Currently, interventions are limited to situations where a person died while ordinarily resident in an institution and where the person was buried in a manifestly inappropriate manner. There are two criteria: the person...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Institutional Burials Bill 2022: Committee Stage (3 May 2022)

Holly Cairns: The amendments seek to delete "and" and substitute "or" so it would not have to be the two requirements. It could be one or the other. How is it restricting it? It would not be the case that one would have to have been ordinarily resident and there was a manifestly inappropriate burial. It could be one or the other. If one is not ordinarily a resident in the site but there is a potential...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Institutional Burials Bill 2022: Committee Stage (3 May 2022)

Holly Cairns: For many people this Bill is also about intervention where what the Bill might not see as manifestly inappropriate is still a suspicious or unlawful death. There might be a mass grave. It is not like the situation in Tuam with the septic tank. It is not just about manifestly inappropriate burials; it is about suspicious or unlawful death.

Holly Cairns: And ordinarily resident.

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Institutional Burials Bill 2022: Committee Stage (3 May 2022)

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Institutional Burials Bill 2022: Committee Stage (3 May 2022)

Holly Cairns: The conversation about what is manifestly inappropriate arises under later amendments, so I will not get into it now. This amendment relates to the two criteria, and my argument is that it should be one or the other.
