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.

It is because of their willingness to keep putting themselves out, and how they had to sign...

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...

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.

Gary Gannon: ...the shoulders of people who came before us and suffered a substantial oppression and showed courage beyond what they should have to, in terms of contraceptive trains and those who were incarcerated in Magdalen laundries, suffered the horrors of the asylums and were kept in mother and baby homes.

They can take their...

Maternity Services: Motion [Private Members] (2 Jun 2021)

Bríd Smith: ...trust the State and the Department of Health with the record they have on reproductive healthcare and women's rights.

You name it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community: Traveller Employment and Labour Market Participation: Discussion (Resumed) (18 May 2021)

...particular in the Dóchas Centre and Limerick Prison about how they ended up there. Their stories are of trauma, abuse, neglect, being in care and their children being in care. We speak about the Magdalen laundries and this is it all over again, not just for Traveller women but for so many women in prison. We need to put the spotlight on them. Unfortunately, many of them are so...

These exemptions mean that the eligible women...

Direct Provision: Statements (22 Apr 2021)

Matt Carthy: ...system has failed utterly those who have sought asylum and also local host communities. I was struck recently in listening to recollections of those who were in mother and baby homes and Magdalen laundries by how similar some of these were to the reports we have received up to today from residents in direct provisions.
