Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (28 Nov 2018)

Carol Nolan: I genuinely remember being shocked to the core and we can draw our own conclusions, but we cannot say anything with absolute certainty. As we know, this nation includes all cultures. We are inclusive as a society. We do not know and cannot say with absolute certainty that somebody who goes into a hospital will not ask for or want an abortion on grounds of gender. We have to make sure...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (27 Nov 2018)

Carol Nolan: I will finish now. If the victims were anyone other than unborn children, no such point would ever be raised. It is not much of a point when 100% of the cost of abortions will be paid by taxpayers. Two of us have left our party because of serious conscientious objection, while a Deputy formerly of Fine Gael did the same, which shows the lack of respect and regard for us pro-life Deputies...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (27 Nov 2018)

Carol Nolan: I find it sad and frustrating that one Deputy in particular came into this Chamber, made wild accusations and damaged my reputation by saying this was coming from a businessman. I can assure everybody in this House that it absolutely did not. I have a conscientious objection to this Bill, as does my colleague beside me. We were forced out of the party that Deputy represents. How dare that...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (27 Nov 2018)

Carol Nolan: There are those of us who are taxpayers who have stated that we are very strongly opposed to abortion. Hundreds of thousands of those are women. We all know that 723,000 people voted "No" in the referendum. There are people with objections to this legislation who voted "Yes". As a representative, I am merely trying to convey people's concerns and I am being obstructed in this Chamber from...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (27 Nov 2018)

Carol Nolan: I move amendment No. 4:In page 6, between lines 29 and 30, to insert the following:"(2) No public moneys shall be provided by the Oireachtas to pay for the carrying out of a termination of pregnancy other than a termination of pregnancy in accordance with section 10or 11in a case where there is a risk to the life of the pregnant woman.". These amendments ensure that taxpayers' money is not...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (27 Nov 2018)

Carol Nolan: The programme for Government contains a firm commitment to end discrimination against small farming families and small businesses. I understand that changes to the fair deal scheme were approved in July in the context of a three-year cap on farming and business assets. Where does this matter stand? Farming families in my constituency are really struggling, as are families involved in small...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Nov 2018)

Carol Nolan: We have heard much about the electric vehicles initiative. I feel there is insufficient buy-in from people. I take the officials' point that the infrastructure is being developed further. In my constituency of Laois-Offaly there are very few charging points and the same is true in the wider midlands region. Are there any projected targets? What would the projected target for increasing...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (14 Nov 2018)

Carol Nolan: It is scandalous that there are 570 people in Laois-Offaly awaiting home help. I am aware there is a serious problem with home help hours and home care packages. The programme for Government refers to caring for our elderly people, but it is far from the case. I have people in my office every day of the week despairing over the fact they do not have home help hours. I have pointed out...

Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 Nov 2018)

Carol Nolan: I reiterate that this accusation of being misogynistic is an absolute disgrace. I take grave issue with it because it appears that a woman has to be pro-choice in order to be treated fairly and to get respect in this Chamber. I take great exception to that, and I will follow up on it. It is disgraceful. Tens of thousands of women are of the same view as me. Just because I have a...

Carol Nolan: The Chairman is not giving us fair play. Can I continue, please?

Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 Nov 2018)

Carol Nolan: The purpose of this amendment is to give information should the woman wish to avail of it. It needs to be stated clearly and strongly that no woman would be forced to avail of such information. During the campaign, and in this Chamber, we heard a good deal about women needing to have choices and options. That is all the amendment is doing. We are not making any assumptions but simply...
