Mother and Baby Institutions: Statements (25 Nov 2021)

Catherine Connolly: ...threatened on a regular basis if you are a boy or a girl, in Lenaboy and Lower Salthill. Then, if you were really bad you were threatened with Letterfrack. If that was not enough, there was the Magdalen home in the city. We then go eastwards to Tuam, not to mention Loughrea. There is a whole debate there in relation to power. Perhaps ironic is not the word, but it is ironic that since...

Education (Health, Relationships and Sex Education) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (24 Nov 2021)

Gary Gannon: .... I am not anti-Catholic; I am against a system of control and systematic abuse. I am against a system that abused people in this country for decades and that led to the mother and baby homes, the Magdalen laundries, and a scenario in which people were told contraception, divorce and IVF were wrong and that loving a person of the same sex as oneself was wrong. That is what I am opposed...

Holly Cairns: ...are rectified. Survivors will rightly reject it and they will be supported by society. Limitations, caveats and waivers were found in previous redress schemes for survivors of institutional and clerical abuse and Magdalen laundries. The difference now is that we will not stand for it. In the past week, we have got a sense of the anger and frustration at this scheme. The opposition to...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: ...of Christianity, which I believe has little to do with the words of love and forgiveness that we find in the Gospel. Grace's life is linked by that dark thread to the industrial schools, to the Magdalen laundries and to all those repressive outworkings of an unhealthy relationship between church and State which existed from the foundation of the State. Prior to her birth, Grace's...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Nov 2021)

Catherine Connolly: ...time to learn from previous schemes. In the redress institutional scheme we created an offence such that if somebody disclosed what they got, they committed a criminal offence. Then we set up the Magdalen scheme and the Ombudsman told us there was maladministration. Then we set up Caranua, which was an insult to the Irish language because we talked about a new friend when it was the old...

...all three different groups, we are looking at close to 180,000. When you add all the others group together that are being considered for different parts of this Bill, such as the survivors of the Magdalen laundries and the mother and baby homes, the number of those who actually have adoption orders does not even add up to 178,000. We are a huge group. We are not insignificant. We have...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mother and Baby Homes Inquiries (7 Oct 2021)

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: ...perhaps we should try to have more communication with different groups of survivors. History does not inspire survivors. Look at what happened with Caranua. Look at the Ombudsman report into the Magdalen redress scheme. Years later, some women have yet to receive compensation and medical support. We cannot let that happen in this case. For decades, this State oppressed women and...

Pat Buckley: .... Mr. Tyndall was reappointed in 2019 for a second term. One of Mr. Tyndall's key investigations was the Opportunity Lost investigation in 2017, which found that women who had worked in the Magdalen laundries had been wrongly refused access to the Magdalen restorative justice scheme.

Roderic O'Gorman: ...records and memorial centre. This was repeated in the action plan. It would be a venue where we could bring together institutional archives of industrial schools, mother and baby institutions and Magdalen laundries so they can be accessed by researchers and individuals looking for access to their own files and used to explain this very dark part of our country's history. Work is...

Seanad: Bullying and Sexual Harassment in Third Level Institutions: Motion (21 Sep 2021)

Lynn Ruane: ...I am saying that I think we are good in Ireland. Everyone seems to get the wrongness of this. That is very much down to the women who have come before us, especially on the issue of institutional abuse and Magdalen laundries. This issue cannot be seen in isolation from those women. It is because of their willingness to keep putting themselves out, and how they had to sign...

Mark Wall: ...23% of full-time farms have farm family income below €20,000. We must remind ourselves of the damage caused by institutional approaches to care in this country.

If we can implement policy that allows older people to live independently with the dignity they...

Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence: Statements (6 Jul 2021)

Mick Barry: ...housing crisis and a shortage of refuge places. If you try to achieve financial independence, you are hemmed in by low pay and childcare costs. The society of the mother and baby homes and of the Magdalen laundries is in the past, but the attitudes that underlay them still live on. The system is not fair. It has misogyny in its DNA. I find it incredible that the only person in the...

Traveller Culture and History in Education Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (1 Jul 2021)

Bríd Smith: ...with the Catholic Church, as we have seen through the pages of history. We are now more aware of what happened to women, with the backlash and counter-revolution against them by way of the Magdalen laundries, mother and baby homes, etc. We are more aware of that now, as well as the incarceration of the poor in industrial schools. That incarceration did not exclude children and poor from...
