Holly Cairns: ...amount of time in an institution. The section relates to people who make another application to the scheme in the unlikely situation that another institution is added to the list of institutions, and the arbitrary six-month criteria is relevant here as well. The arbitrary six-month exclusion has been widely criticised and highlighted as having no basis in evidence other than as a tool to...

Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (1 Feb 2023)

Holly Cairns: It was incredible and somewhat excruciating to watch the Minister speak for almost seven minutes and not reference the main concerns that were raised in the Chamber, particularly the concerns raised by Deputies Boyd Barrett and Connolly. The Minister is right to highlight that this is one aspect of what has been going on in regard to mother and baby homes. For the past three years on the...

Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (1 Feb 2023)

Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Second Stage (27 Oct 2022)

Holly Cairns: The scale of abuse, terror and cruelty experienced by thousands of women, children and infants in mother and baby homes is almost unimaginable. This includes unexplained infant deaths, disappeared children, illegal adoptions, incarceration, forced labour, illegal medical experimentation and emotional, physical and sexual abuse. Both the church and State have responsibility for these abuses...

Holly Cairns: ...that reflects social realities. Employment law needs to recognise the complexities of life, including those encountered in contexts such as caring for one's family, the importance of one's health and the experience of the victims and survivors of domestic and gender-based violence. Compared with other European countries, Ireland has poor worker's rights. We lag many other jurisdictions...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (12 Oct 2022)

Holly Cairns: This week we learned that the religious orders involved in mother and baby homes have no intention of contributing to the redress scheme. The Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Deputy O'Gorman, continues to stand over the flawed commission's report, which absolved the church of any responsibility. The State and church perpetuated some of the worst human...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Review of Testimonies Provided by Survivors of Mother and Baby Homes: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (4 Oct 2022)

Holly Cairns: We are all here today because of the continued refusal of the Minister, this Government and the State to respect basic principles of justice and laws, as the will and preference of survivors in relation to the mother and baby institutions. At all stages, survivors have been met with paternalism, disregard, disrespect and attempts to undermine their position. In June 2021 the Minister...

Holly Cairns: ...not say he brought a proposal to Cabinet. I heard him talking about the issue on the radio so he certainly brought the proposal to the national airwaves. I spoke on the radio after the Minister and asked what he will do if we have two reports, one of which states there is no evidence of illegal adoption or incarceration, all of the things we know happened, and another report from an...

Proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Institutional Burials Act 2022 (Director of Authorised Intervention, Tuam) Order 2022: Motion (14 Sep 2022)

Holly Cairns: The excavation of the Tuam site, the identification of victims and the dignified burial of remains will happen only because of the work of Catherine Corless, survivor groups, campaigners and their relatives and allies. Any attempts to intervene at Tuam and other locations have been resisted by governments and the State for decades. A rotten partnership between the State and the Roman...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Institutional Burials Bill 2022: Committee Stage (3 May 2022)

Holly Cairns: I move amendment No. 11: In page 14, line 6, to delete “, from time to time,”. These amendments relate to the Government's approach to establish a separate director and office to intervene in each site rather than establishing a standing body which has the capacity to examine any known or potential site. This is a key barrier to justice for the deceased. A separate office...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Institutional Burials Bill 2022: Committee Stage (3 May 2022)

Holly Cairns: I move amendment No. 12: In page 14, lines 7 and 8, to delete “with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform”. The specific inclusion in multiple sections that an intervention is only possible with consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform is a clear and disgraceful indication of the priorities with this legislation. It shows that...
