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’...

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...

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.

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.
