Maureen O'Sullivan: ...reasons, sexually abuse children. Ireland has a horrific past in terms of protecting and guarding children. That is evident from events in the industrial schools, mother and baby homes, Magdalen laundries and some foster homes. However, Ireland has come a long way in terms of ensuring the safety of children and progress is being made in regard to child welfare and protection. We...

Peter Fitzpatrick: ...women have contacted the HSE helpline because of these deaths. Out of the 17 women who died, 15 did not know of the misdiagnoses. As with other issues such as the mother and baby homes, the Magdalen laundries and the hepatitis C scandal, the 208 women who were diagnosed with cervical cancer should have received earlier intervention. Of these women, 162 were not notified that an...

Other Questions: Mother and Baby Homes Inquiries (1 May 2018)

Denise Mitchell: ...of Education and Skills and the Department of Health should re-examine the decision to deny the Bethany Home survivors redress. We recently saw the decision to reverse access to redress for Magdalen laundry survivors. Why can it not be done for the Bethany Home survivors? I will say it straight to the Minister. These ten survivors will be very disappointed; they will feel let down....

Leaders' Questions (1 May 2018)

Leo Varadkar: ...rape trials and other matters. This country has not always treated women very well and even today perhaps treats them very badly, as evidenced by issues such as mother and baby homes, the Magdalen laundries, the marriage bar and the hepatitis C scandal. That is why I am determined to get to the bottom of this matter and establish the facts. We do not yet know all the facts, and I ask...

Jonathan O'Brien: I move on to the Magdalen fund. Can the witnesses provide the committee with an up-to-date position on the 19 cases in respect of applicants with capacity issues? I think there were 25 other cases on hand at the end of 2016. Can we have the up-to-date position on them? Can the witnesses tell us how many applications have been received in total, how many have been successful and what the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Mental Health Services: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Apr 2018)

...account for the children between 16 and 18 years who were not at school. We have a long history of not looking after the most vulnerable in society, from the Tuam mother and baby home, to Artane, the Magdalen laundries, Letterfrack industrial school and Wexford, where we had the Ferns and Monageer reports, to mention just a few. We are again letting down the most vulnerable children in...

Mary Lou McDonald: ...? I understand from media reports that he has finally agreed to implement the Ombudsman's recommendations following a scathing report late last year on the Department's administration of the Magdalen laundry redress scheme. The report came on foot of complaints made by 27 women who had been excluded by the Department from the scheme. Even after the investigation was complete, the first...

Maire Devine: I congratulate the Ombudsman, Mr. Peter Tyndall, on his tenacity and determination in getting the Government to accept his recommendations on redress for the Magdalen survivors. The previous attitude was one of reluctance. Ultimately, it was aimed at limiting the numbers of those who might qualify for redress. It was also mean-spirited in nature. Yesterday, however, the Government and the...

Ivana Bacik: ...chill, for the sake of our daughters and for their generation. Mr. Gerry Edwards spoke movingly at the Together for Yes launch that we have stopped dropping pregnant women and girls at the doors of Magdalen laundries. We now need also to stop dropping our pregnant women and girls at the departure gates of our airports and ports. Those are really prescient and moving words. We should...

Marcella Corcoran Kennedy: ...an abortion in this country for 152 years. It is absolutely shocking that legislation from 1861 had such an effect on the medical profession in this country. We only have to think back to the Magdalen laundries, to Ann Lovett, the Tuam babies, the Kerry babies and so many other heart breaking cases to be reminded of how pregnant women suffered at the hands of both the Church and the...

Bríd Smith: Happy International Women's Day to everyone here and beyond, but in particular to the women of the Magdalen laundries, the subject of my question to the Tánaiste. Seven women of the Magdalen laundries have died since the former Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, made his apology to the House, and there is no sign of the redress being passed to these women. They have been treated...

Leaders' Questions (8 Mar 2018)

Imelda Munster: ..., including politics, leadership, government and academia. There is a lot of work left to do. The Government has yet to deliver on the commitments it made some five years ago to the survivors of the Magdalen laundries. It is an absolute shame that those survivors are still being forced to wait. The prevailing legacy of the eighth amendment is a blight on our society and one that...

Pat Buckley: .... The lack of movement on this issue is not only denying the right to persons to have an input into their care but is also holding up further needed reform. Another side-effect is that the survivors of the Magdalen laundries have died without even having redress processed.
