Catherine Noone: This is an historic and emotional time to be in the Seanad. It is an historic moment for the Houses of the Oireachtas. We have had an intense and sometimes very difficult and emotional year and a half since this process first began in the Oireachtas. I have been contemplating various matters for the past few hours but predominantly my thoughts are with Savita and with all the women who had...

Catherine Noone: -----who started this process of deliberative democracy with the Citizens' Assembly. At the time, he was much maligned for so doing. We owe him a debt of gratitude for suggesting this process which all Senators will agree has worked well. I also pay tribute to the Taoiseach, Deputy Varadkar, who put this issue front and centre on his agenda from the day he was appointed. I thank the...

Catherine Noone: I think what I referred to were comments that were condescending and mysoginistic, and I do not believe we should have to put up with them. I am wasting time talking about this because I will never change the views of people who speak in the way they do. I have no personal axe to grind with Senator Leyden. I have always got on very well with him. I know he has a very good relationship...

Catherine Noone: He is a decent man in many ways but we just differ on this particular point.
