- Maternity Protection (Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (31 May 2018)
Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Minister of State. As he realised from the beginning, I admitted it was not a perfect Bill. The most important point was the conversation and get that work going in itself. I find that everything is rigid in the Dáil and it is hard to get a space for a conversation about broader issues which impact on so many more. It is quite crude to introduce a Private Members’...
- Maternity Protection (Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (31 May 2018)
Anne Rabbitte: If we were serious about wanting to improve female participation and recognising our voices, in particular in the week that is in it when we hear of all the women on both sides of the referendum campaign who fought the good fight, yet at the end of the day here we are trying to bring women to the highest office and showing them all of the opportunities but we do it at 7.40 p.m. on a Thursday...

- Maternity Protection (Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (31 May 2018)
Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Business Committee for affording time for the introduction of this crucial legislation, which is long overdue. I thank my party colleague, Deputy Niamh Smyth, and my parliamentary colleagues for supporting the changes that we have suggested for a long time. There is no doubt that Fianna Fáil takes pride in its effort to expand female participation in politics. As Deputy...

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the witnesses for their presentation. I will follow on from where Deputy Harty left off. Mr. Kane spoke about what the group is trying to achieve. What is the group trying to achieve because I could not figure it out from his presentation? What is the focus?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Engagement with Department of Health Oversight Group (30 May 2018)
Anne Rabbitte: All of a sudden, I have seen a clear blue light for the simple reason that we take a bottom-up approach. We meet every single week and we meet stakeholders who come before us. We are meeting stakeholders with regard to primary care, recruitment and retention and funding. To be fair to the Chairman and the clerk, every week, groups of people appear before us and we sit for two or three...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Engagement with Department of Health Oversight Group (30 May 2018)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Engagement with Department of Health Oversight Group (30 May 2018)
Anne Rabbitte: I do not know why that has not happened. I appreciate everything Mr. Kane has said. As I said, a clear blue light has appeared but it is a pity the committee and the oversight group are not working in tandem. While we are very different, we should be feeding back from our stakeholders. The Psychiatric Nurses Association, the Irish Prison Service and service users have appeared before us....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Engagement with Department of Health Oversight Group (30 May 2018)

Other than Deputy Harty, who comes from a medical background, we are elected representatives. The group has work to do to be our enablers so the committee can give the group indications for outcomes. If I...
