Symphysiotomy: Statements (26 Jan 2017)

Maureen O'Sullivan: Symphysiotomy was a most inhumane, degrading and brutal procedure carried out on women without their full knowledge of what was involved, without their permission, and, in some cases, they did not even know what was going on. It led to horrific health problems for these women with intense suffering and discomfort that affected their lives and their relationships. In the previous Dáil,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Syrian Conflict: United Nations High Commission for Refugees (26 Jan 2017)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I apologise for having missed the beginning of the presentation. I will not go back over questions that have already been asked. We know the political situation and the political answer in regard to Syria from what Ms O'Hara has said. My question is on where that will lead into rebuilding and people going home. What is her sense of how near or how far away that is? With the fall of...

Maureen O'Sullivan: Can I ask if there has been any engagement with the group he was working for in Bolivia? Is it of any support to the family in trying to get to the truth? If, as Deputy Kelly was saying, there appears to be no hope of justice in Bolivia, where does one turn to for justice?

Establishment of Commission of Investigation into the Stardust Tragedy: Motion [Private Members] (25 Jan 2017)

Maureen O'Sullivan: The motion put forward by Deputy Broughan is very simple in nature. I want to acknowledge his work and that of the Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath, because they have been steady and persistent voices in respect of this matter. The fact is that, 35 years on, those bereaved by what happened in the Stardust still have questions but they do not have answers. It is ironic the...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Dublin-Monaghan Bombings (25 Jan 2017)

Maureen O'Sullivan: It is hard to understand why, after 41 years, the British actually fear he truth. We know how important the truth is for the relatives and victims. In 1993 there was a Yorkshire Television documentary, "Hidden Hand: The Forgotten Massacre". I think that sums it up particularly well. It is a forgotten massacre and if it were not for the relatives, I am sure this would have been swept under...

His Department funds the organisation. We have a Dáil group under Deputy Crowe's chairmanship that meets regularly with the relatives. The Taoiseach attended the 40th anniversary, which is the milestone. The Minister...

European Council: Statements (25 Jan 2017)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I wish to make a couple of points in the short time available to me. There is a need for a different economic model of which the European Union could be the driver. Two recent reports from Oxfam have certainly highlighted tax injustices involving businesses, multinationals and corporations avoiding and evading tax. It is the developing countries that are most vulnerable to the negative...
