National Cervical Screening Programme: Statements (1 May 2018)

Ruth Coppinger: We have a very patronising attitude to women in this society, as evidenced by the outrageous treatment of the women involved in this case, a paternalistic attitude among doctors to women, and a refusal to allow full disclosure to patients. I want to speak about an issue which some of the parties in this Dáil do not seem to be interested in, namely, privatisation, which has led to this...

Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (24 Apr 2018)

Ruth Coppinger: What does it say about this country that women can be accused of being killers and that posters can go up about a licence to kill and of foetuses that are able to speak? The Dáil and the Minister for Health should set the record straight. For example, a foetus at nine weeks is 0.9 of an inch and at 12 weeks is 2.13 of an inch. It says something about the fear of the Irish...

Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (24 Apr 2018)

Ruth Coppinger: Yesterday, work by the artist Maser was removed from the Project Arts Centre building in Dublin. It is the second time this art has had to be removed. The cause for concern is that it was done under threat of loss of funding from a State body on the grounds that it was political. This country has an inglorious record of censorship, both artistic and political, and this Parliament should be...

Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (24 Apr 2018)

Ruth Coppinger: How does the Taoiseach feel that the director of the Project Arts Centre had to physically paint over the work of a respected and innovative artist or face financial ruin? This means the dependency of charities and non-governmental organisations, NGOs, on public funds can render them absolutely toothless. The arts centre does not have the funds to mount a legal challenge in the courts....

Ruth Coppinger: -----is a remarkable double standard whereby the Catholic Church is an active agent in the referendum yet religious bodies do not have to register with the Standards in Public Office Commission, SIPO, for example, as secular groups do.

Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (24 Apr 2018)

Ruth Coppinger: I note I am being shouted down and censored by people who do not agree with me while I speak in the Parliament. Many religious organisations are also listed on the register of charities published by the regulator but it seems they are perfectly free to use their buildings to propagate an anti-repeal position. The irony of this is that there is a proliferation of "No" posters, which are not...

Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (24 Apr 2018)

Ruth Coppinger: No one is advocating that these posters be removed, although it would be good if the Referendum Commission challenged on a factual basis all claims by all sides. However, people are wondering why it is the most important thing to take down the Maser mural and leave this stuff up, unchallenged by the State.
