- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (23 Jul 2013)
Brian Ó Domhnaill: This is a very compassionate amendment which Senators Healy Eames and Mary Ann O'Brien have tabled. If we cannot have compassion for the unborn, for those who cannot speak for themselves even though they are being cruelly deprived of life as a result of this legislation, at least let it be compassionate. I am not sure why there is this apparent reluctance to entertain this amendment....

- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (23 Jul 2013)
Brian Ó Domhnaill: -----but the reality is that the rights of the child protected under Article 40.3.3° will be violated if this Bill is passed.
