An Bille um an gCúigiú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (An tOchtú Leasú a Aisghairm) 2016: An Dara Céim [Comhaltaí Príobháideacha] - Thirty-fifth Amendment of the Constitution (Repeal of the Eighth Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (25 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: ...and partners have all had abortions. Pretending that is not the case is the modern version of the mentality that said, "There's no sex on in Ireland, so lock up your women behind the walls of the Magdalen laundries". That attitude has no place in a modern Ireland where tolerance, compassion and kindness are the bywords of people who recognise that it is not a black-and-white issue and...

Coroners Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (11 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: ..., it firmly puts the need for us to address the deficiencies in our maternity services centre stage. Things are too rooted in the old Ireland, the Ireland that allowed us to have women shackled in Magdalen laundries, which did not have a problem with women's pubic bones being sawn open to facilitate more deliveries of children and which did not have a problem expelling thousands of women...

Coroners Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (11 Dec 2015)

Clare Daly: ...her to protect her and her calf. What we are being asked to do today, in pushing this Bill, is to be that herd, in essence. Our society has let women down.

Clare Daly: ...and when they are able to raise them with dignity and respect, etc. Would that not be a great Ireland? It is embarrassing that in the past, people who had crisis pregnancies were hidden behind the walls of Magdalen laundries or confined to mother and baby homes. Years later, we had to apologise for the damage we did to them. Now we tell people in such circumstances that we know they...

Topical Issue Debate: Residential Institutions Redress Scheme (14 Jul 2015)

Clare Daly: I cannot believe we are in the Chamber discussing this again. This is another circumstance which, to my mind, represents an utter betrayal of the women who survived the Magdalen laundries. In their youth these women were violated and abandoned by the State. They had to fight for decades to receive redress for the damage done to them by the State. Now, we are about to implement this...

Employment Equality (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (17 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: .... That is the root of this scenario. That abdication has left us in a situation whereby 90% of primary schools have a Catholic ethos. It also gave rise to the imprisonment and abuse of women in the Magdalen laundries and of children in residential institutions, symphysiotomy and our hypocrisy towards abortion and so on. That is the legacy of this State having farmed out its...

Clare Daly: ...who cannot have it are people who are too poor, too sick or of precarious immigrant status. The eight amendment stands as a monument to our hypocrisy. That is all it is. It is an unbroken thread to the Magdalen laundries, symphysiotomy and other such practices. The truth is that the annual rate of abortion worldwide is roughly similar everywhere. There is no link between the number...

Redress for Women Resident in Certain Institutions Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jan 2015)
