Equal Status (Amendment) Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (3 Jul 2013)

Regina Doherty: I must be honest. I had to read the Bill a number of times to try to figure out its purpose, and I am still not sure about that. I think the author of the Bill is trying first to extend the nine discrimination grounds in the Equal Status Acts to include a number of additional grounds such as the rural ground and the convicted prisoner ground and, second, to create a duty on existing public...

Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Health: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2013)

Regina Doherty: I appreciate that there is nothing that can be done about this provision. I disagree, however, that to be at once pro-life and to have concerns in this regard is a bizarre position to take. To put it simply, any such concern is borne out of one's humanity. While people might not agree with abortion, they certainly understand the reasons women find themselves considering whether to take...

Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Health: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2013)

Regina Doherty: I wish to concur with Deputy Conway on Deputy Boyd Barrett’s comments. This legislation is for someone like me, Deputy Conway and all child-bearing women. The last thing we need on our mind is a worry whether a doctor will immediately intervene. This legislation gives legal clarity when there is a doubt over how a doctor can intervene with regard to the risk to the life. It is not...

Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Health: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (2 Jul 2013)

Regina Doherty: Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin has stolen my thunder because the amendments address an entirely different audience from the psychiatric profession and obstetricians. The reason they are not needed to clarify in law what Deputy Billy Kelleher proposes is every obstetrician and psychiatrist has a code of practice under which he or she practises. These are the Medical Council...

Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Health: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (2 Jul 2013)

Regina Doherty: I thank the thousands of people who contacted me on this issue by phone, e-mail and letter. I thank them for their contribution, even those who were less than amicable. I have learned a lot about interaction and about myself and I am grateful.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Public Health Nurses: Discussion (27 Jun 2013)

Regina Doherty: I should have wished Mr. Hennessy the best of luck in his new role. I am delighted he said the gates are not closed and that he will talk again to his colleagues. The agency will be set up this year, so, no pressure, but will Mr. Hennessy do that sooner rather than later? Will he come back to us shortly with his thinking on that?
