Peadar Tóibín: The consistency of some of the Deputies opposite is incredible. There is regularity, like a clock, in here. This is a very difficult debate on very difficult issues. That Members are calling people names, misrepresenting people and constantly slurring people is just incredible. I cannot believe some Deputies really accentuate the level of offence they find in every single word of these...

- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2018)
Peadar Tóibín: Subsection 12 of the amendment should refer to section 12 and section 12(1) of the Bill instead of section 11 and section 11(1), respectively, as this relates to the section providing for termination in the case of emergency. It is similar to the previous case. Information is an entity that provides the answer to questions or resolves uncertainty. We can agree in the House that...

- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2018)
Peadar Tóibín: There is a difference between the position we are taking and the position the Minister is taking. When we have asked the Minister to do certain things in this Bill, his default position has always been that such things do not have a place in the Bill on the basis that someone somewhere will do something about it sometime. It is good enough for a legislator to take such an approach. These...

Peadar Tóibín: There is a difference that I would like to mention in this context. Under the current consent rules, in exceptional circumstances there can be occasions when doctors do not have to tell parents. We just want to give the power back to parents. I think most people looking in at this would be shocked to think that the national Parliament of this country has decided not to include in primary...

- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2018)
Peadar Tóibín: The issue of parental notification is of concern to people. Parents do not want to be kept in the dark. They want to know what is happening regarding their children, and they want to see that provided for in primary legislation. Fine Gael should understand that the majority of parents want to do the best for their kids. We need to trust them with this type of information. It is...

Peadar Tóibín: There has been much said about filibustering. I asked two people to carry out a word count with regard to the contributions from the pro-choice side and the pro-life side. The pro-choice have said 50,000 words so far.
- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2018)
Peadar Tóibín: The pro-life side, 45,000 words. The pro-choice side is filibustering its own Bill which is incredible.
