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...

Order of Business (25 Oct 2016)

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.
