Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Second Stage (6 Nov 2018)

Clare Daly: In discussing this issue we must go back to the beginning and look at how we got to where we are with the Bill. It is the case that a number of years ago the Government decided that it wanted to introduce a national identity card. We are not really sure why. The war on terror was in vogue and there was a general desire to engage in mass surveillance which was always in the background. It...

Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)

Clare Daly: It is clear as mud.

Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)

Clare Daly: I will not because I am just catching up on the debate as I had to be elsewhere this morning. I was struck by a couple of things. Looking at the whole journey we made over the course of the eighth amendment committee hearings, one thing that was consistent throughout every session was the issue of criminalisation and the need to decriminalise. I listened carefully to the Minister's...

Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)

Clare Daly: I fully accept the bona fides of the Minister when he says the Department has attempted to remove the chilling effect in balancing this legislation. It has not achieved that objective, however, and I do not agree that the committee's suggestions were adhered to. I accept the Minister's point about the legislation giving a protection to medical practitioners or providers who operate in good...

Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)

Clare Daly: I am not being smart about it. I am quite sure many of the voters in my constituency are incredibly sophisticated but I can guarantee I did not meet one person who said he or she was voting for the heads of the Bill because it provides for a 14 year criminal sanction. It is just not true. All the evidence from the studies carried out suggests that even people who strongly object to...

Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)

Clare Daly: If the Minister says we will genuinely discuss the issue, is there a point in pressing the amendment now? I am open to pressing it but I am not a member of the committee.

Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)

Clare Daly: I am trying to be helpful to see if we can get a better situation and in the knowledge that if we put the amendment to a vote, it will not change what is in the legislation. I hope we can have a genuine discussion on the issue before Report Stage and, on that basis, I will withdraw the amendment for now, reserving the right to resubmit it.

Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 34:In page 8, line 17, to delete “means physical or mental health” and substitute the following:“means a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. This is important and I hope it is something we could agree on. The definition we are including for "health" includes the...

Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)

Clare Daly: I am happy to leave it at that. We need to return to this matter, but I will not push the amendment to a vote. I stand over the points I made and echo those made by Deputy Smith. This is not just about socio-economic reasons and is not defined as such. It is a WHO definition and is proposed in the context of what we are supposed to be doing, namely, promoting and protecting women's...
