Bríd Smith: If it was being replaced with something more robust, I would have no problem.

Bríd Smith: That is why all the progressive women opposed it.

Bríd Smith: This is the piece of work with which I have the biggest problem. The Government has done us all a disservice by coupling the deletion of - as I paraphrase it - the woman's place is in the home with the care question. It has done the whole project a big disservice. I say this because I know for a fact that there are already others campaigning to confuse this issue, but also genuinely...

Bríd Smith: Tairgim leasú a1a: I gCuid 1, leathanach 6, línte 4 go 8 a scriosadh agus an méid seo a leanas a chur ina n-ionad: “Airteagal 41.2 1° Admhaíonn an Stát go dtugtar taca don Stát, ar taca é nach bhféadfaí leas an phobail a ghnóthú dá éagmais, de bhíthin cúram a thabhairt laistigh den bhaile agus lasmuigh...

Bríd Smith: Of course. It is the messaging. I am just wondering how the Government will put its message across. What message is it giving the Irish people that says they should vote yes-yes?

An Bille um an Naoú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (An Teaghlach), 2023: Céim an Choiste agus na Céimeanna a bheidh Fágtha - Thirty-ninth Amendment of the Constitution (The Family) Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (17 Jan 2024)

Bríd Smith: It is replaced with stronger language in our proposal.

Bríd Smith: I come here today less than enthusiastic about this. I said to the Minister the last day we spoke about this that he has made it very difficult for parties and people like me and mine who really want to progress the equality agenda in this country and has made it even more difficult for the citizens' assembly, which did a lot of work on the question of equality and how it should apply to the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Jan 2024)

Bríd Smith: It is worth this House noting that tomorrow, over 200,000 public sector workers will take strike action in Northern Ireland to secure a pay increase. They have traditional been very badly paid and so I salute them. We should note this because these workers are in our country. We may not have jurisdiction over them but it is a very important strike. Also important are the pay talks with...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Jan 2024)

Bríd Smith: -----to take account of inflation over the last two or three years and those ahead.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jan 2024)

Bríd Smith: To repeat, I am actually standing here to say the far right are liars and Nazi sympathisers. They spread bile and lies, first of all about single men, and then it extends to all refugees, including the terrified women and children we saw in the videos the other day. It is the far right that are spreading the riots. They are Nazi sympathisers and they see racism as a tool to deflect against...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jan 2024)

Bríd Smith: I will have that debate with the Ceann Comhairle again but I stand over my right to say that they echo the sympathies of Nazis.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jan 2024)

Bríd Smith: I can.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jan 2024)

Bríd Smith: They are not the facts.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jan 2024)

Bríd Smith: I am the leader for the new year, okay?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jan 2024)

Bríd Smith: I want to put it up to the Minister and to the entire Government that the problems we have seen over the past few days in Roscrea and beyond are not the fault of asylum seekers; they are the Government's fault. I am pointing the figure at the Government because I really mean this. I am so angry, as is everybody, about the scenes of women and their children being frightened and bullied, and...

An Bille up an Daicheadú Leasú ar an mBunreacht (Cúram), 2023: An Dara Céim - Fortieth Amendment of the Constitution (Care) Bill 2023: Second Stage (14 Dec 2023)

Bríd Smith: I will share time with Deputy Barry. The Minister made it nearly impossible for us to be enthusiastic about this referendum. Many parties on this side of the House have played a key role in helping progressive referendums pass. I, like Deputy Cairns, worry that the Minister is not going to get this one passed for the reasons I stated earlier in that those in the far right have latched...

An Bille um an Naoú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (An Teaghlach), 2023: An Dara Céim - Thirty-ninth Amendment of the Constitution (The Family) Bill 2023: Second Stage (14 Dec 2023)

Bríd Smith: I will not try to compete with legal experts that dominate this House. Between Deputy Bacik and the Minister of State, Deputy Carroll MacNeill, I do not know what they are talking about half of the time but I do want to put across a perspective that is important for the vast majority of ordinary people because what this is about is removing a very offensive piece of wording in the...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (14 Dec 2023)

Bríd Smith: A couple of years ago, RTÉ wrote to Catherine Martin, the Minister, to ask for permission to use the pension fund to pay for the administrative costs of the fund. This is not normally done; the employer normally pays the admin costs. The figure involved would be upwards of €30 million over the lifetime of the fund. She refused, but RTÉ appealed and apparently she has done...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (13 Dec 2023)

Bríd Smith: I just got off the phone in the last hour to a couple in my constituency who have a diagnosis at 22 weeks of a fatal foetal anomaly. They have a two-and-a-half-year-old child and, at a multidisciplinary team meeting this morning, they were refused a termination on the grounds of fatal foetal anomaly because it is "impossible", in the words of Marie O'Shea, who spoke to the health committee...
