Maire Devine: ...to access medical services.It is sensible to insert a clause to the effect that if the three-day waiting period is overly burdensome for, say, a woman who is a prisoner of domestic violence, someone in direct provision or someone who finds it difficult to make that decision for one reason or another and eventually does but it is coming up to the 12 week barrier, as described eloquently and...

Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Second Stage (6 Dec 2018)

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Direct Provision System (27 Jun 2018)

Maire Devine: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. There are currently more than 5,000 people incarcerated in prisons for the innocent of Ireland today. It is direct provision I want talk about.

When one...

I will call it incarceration. I will not call it what the Minister of State would like me to call it, which would dilute what it really is. The Minister of State is asking LGBTI people in direct provision to become...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jun 2017)

Maire Devine: It is World Refugee Day today. There are millions of displaced people around the world with no home and no country. I am organising a group of women and men from direct provision to come in tomorrow morning to do a presentation, and it would be great if as many people as possible, or their representatives, could make it to listen to the stories these people have to tell. I want to go back...
