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

Peadar Tóibín: Some people have said that some of the language that has been used so far has been shocking. Many people on this side of the debate feel the Bill is shocking. The Bill itself gives a definition of termination of pregnancy as the ending of the life of a foetus. For many people this is a very difficult and sobering issue to have to deal with. We have been told for years we need to have a...

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

Peadar Tóibín: We will get through the Bill faster if people fully respect each other's motivations. It is very important that minorities have a voice in the Chamber because if the Chamber does not reflect in some way the views that exist among the public, it will be a very dangerous place to be. Healthy respectful opposition is important in a functioning democracy. It is not the enemy in this debate....

Peadar Tóibín: Go raibh maith ag an aoi as an gcuireadh a tugadh ag an deireadh dúinn féachaint mórthimpeall na tíre ar ghnéithe difriúla den obair atá rompu. I thank the witnesses for their contributions. Ms Clerkin's definition of heritage captures for me much of what heritage means.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Council Strategy 2018-2022: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: I have a number of questions. I represent an area which is, in many ways, spoiled for choice. Dublin South-Central includes Kilmainham, Inchicore and quite a number of buildings in terms of built heritage in particular, but there are also the canals and the Liffey and all of that. Much of my time in the area has been spent encouraging, though little encouragement is needed, and working...

We will return to the issue on an ongoing basis and there will be progress, which is...

It was shocking given that Mr. Tony O'Brien was, and the HSE is, responsible...
