Tom Clonan: ...constitutional expression of a paternalistic and passive view of care as being exclusively the burden - and I use the word "burden" in inverted commas - of the family and for the majority of unpaid carers in this republic, who are women and girls. It is consistent with my direct, lived experience as a parent and a carer that the State and its agencies oftentimes have quite a hostile...

Pauline O'Reilly: ..., I was a witness at an Oireachtas joint committee examining this issue. At that time, very few politicians wanted to do anything more than remove the wording that was in the section. What Family Carers Ireland, many others including the National Women's Council of Ireland and I, being involved with Stay-At-Home Parents Association Ireland, wanted was to remove the sexist language and to...

Annie Hoey: ...of the role of care. The care role within the home and in the wider community should be recognised and valued. The Oireachtas Joint Committee on Gender Quality had extensive engagement with carers, women's groups and groups representing disabled people. Out of that consultation came cross-party support for wording that was regarded as effective in expressing the wishes of the citizens'...

Alice-Mary Higgins: ...responsibilities in the home. I know of men who had to battle to keep their children because their role in caring was not recognised and they were not recognised as having that particular life in the home and that particular relationship of care. We have heard from extraordinary male carers as well. This is an improvement because it moves towards recognising that other half of the...

Rónán Mullen: ...even a nod of constitutional respect to all of those aspects of male and female parenting that cannot be characterised by the term "care". We then have a slap in the face to so many other kinds of carers because the only care to be given even a watery constitutional recognition is that element of care that takes place within the family relationships. To be clear, there ought to be a...

Lynn Ruane: ...said that it is estimated that between 10,000 and 12,000 children are living in informal kinship care in Ireland and that the guardian's payment is the only social welfare payment for which kinship carers can apply. I refer to their having to apply adequate care to situations in which kids may have been in situations involving turmoil. Maybe there is grief, loss or trauma, or maybe there...

Gerard Craughwell: I wish to put on the record that I have been a carer for both of my children. I have been a carer for my grandchildren. In fact they play hell with me when I am on my own with them. They stay up late and convince me that I do not have put them to bed early. They do all sorts of things. My two children ring me constantly when they have problems. They do not seem to feel that they have to...

Mary Seery Kearney: ...being reductive in any way. While I disagree with the interpretation, with due respect to Senator Clonan, and how far he is taking it but I completely agree with the plight of parents and family carers. I was on Newstalk's "Lunchtime Live With Andrea Gilligan". She has been very good in highlighting, promoting and campaigning for family carers. I listened to the story today of Gayle and...

Roderic O'Gorman: ...the unintended consequences, particularly when we are dealing with the Constitution, dealing with a document that paints in those very broad brushstrokes. Yesterday, I spoke to the issue of carers and a concern raised by some that we were not explicitly recognising carers within the context. I will come back to that later when I speak about why we chose the word "care". As I said...

Roderic O'Gorman: ...onus of "strive". It will not deliver every single improvement on the first day and everyone recognises that. However it is that clear progressive goal of improving the supports for care and for carers. It is important to say it is a myriad of care. We focus, rightfully, on the issue of disability but care is care for children, for those with a disability and for the elderly. There...
