Ivana Bacik: I commend Senators Marie-Louise O'Donnell, Fiach Mac Conghail and others on bringing forward these very important amendments.

- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Jul 2013)
Ivana Bacik: As the Senator well knows, there is a very important difference, particularly in a referendum campaign, between those who are working on behalf of the Government as director of elections and those working on behalf of individual parties. The timing of the launch yesterday was most unfortunate, as it took place before the Bill had passed through the House. I am glad the Minister, Deputy...

Ivana Bacik: I renew a call to the Leader for a debate in the autumn on the need to change our culture and our procedures to ensure that our Parliament is more friendly towards diversity, and particularly towards gender diversity.
