Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation: Motion (21 Jan 2015)

Clare Daly: ...we are at an historic juncture. There is a right way and a wrong way to do things. Yesterday, when Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan questioned the Taoiseach about unresolved issues relating to the Magdalen laundries, he talked around them too much. He tried to justify what was done by saying this was the first Government to look at this 60 year old crisis through the McAleese report and he...

Clare Daly: ...countries. This Parliament now has an important opportunity with this Bill to do something positive. We have a chance to send a signal that we meant it when we said we were sorry to the women who were banished behind the Magdalen laundries, to the women who had their babies taken from them to be given up in forced adoptions or to those women who had their pelvises broken in...

Civil Registration (Amendment) Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (9 Oct 2014)

Clare Daly: ...means everybody and it means adopted people as well - people being adopted now, but particularly the 50,000 or so adopted people who have been so sorely mistreated, many of whom came through the Magdalen laundries and so on. While we are discussing this, we also need to overhaul that closed-adoption system in order to have a level playing field and ensure that all children of the nation...

Direct Provision for Asylum Seekers: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (1 Oct 2014)

Clare Daly: ...bodies have pinpointed the detrimental effects on the health and psychology of children and adults who have lived in that situation. It is the same as the institutions of the past. It is a modern-day Magdalen laundry. Should we not be consistent? We have had all these redress schemes for the damage done to people who were institutionalised in the past. If we want to end that now, we...

Interdepartmental Report on the Commission of Investigation into the Mother and Baby Homes: Statements (17 Jul 2014)

Clare Daly: ...Minister is prepared to make in working with the survivors' organisations. That will be the key in this regard. Many points have been made as to what has been excluded and obviously, the county homes and Magdalen laundries must be included, as must the vaccination trials. Thus far, there has been no mention of criminal prosecutions, of the religious orders being dealt with regarding the...

Mother and Baby Homes: Statements (10 Jun 2014)

Clare Daly: ...Church to take our young women, hide them behind grey walls, exploit them and discard them and their children to save society the bother of having to deal with them. It must be addressed. The Magdalen issue also needs to be addressed, because the mother and baby homes were a tunnel through which people ended up in Magdalen homes. A full apology, in the style of the apology by the...

Garda Síochána (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2014: Second Stage [Private Members] (27 May 2014)

Clare Daly: ...As Deputy Mick Wallace pointed out, our offices cannot deal with the scale of what is involved. There is a need for a commission of investigation similar to that which investigated the matters relating to the Magdalen laundries to be established in order that people might, as a first step, have their stories heard and obtain an acknowledgement of the wrongs done to them. Such a...

Open Adoption Bill 2014: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 May 2014)

Clare Daly: ...so long to catch up? The reason must be rooted in the illegal nature of the activities that took place in the mother and baby homes. We have only reluctantly come to terms with issues such as the Magdalen laundries, although I do not claim that matter has been fully resolved, and those who were the victims of abuse in residential institutions. The activities that took place in the...

Topical Issue Debate: Symphysiotomy Issues (6 May 2014)

Clare Daly: ...addressing the needs of the victims of human rights abuses. It is clear that the women to whom I refer are the victims of such abuses. The women in question have stated any scheme based on the Magdalen laundry model would be unacceptable because wrongdoing would not be admitted and due to the fact the levels of restitution would fail to reflect the damage done to them. References to...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Adoption Records Provision (17 Dec 2013)

Clare Daly: The official apologies made to the victims of the Magdalen laundries and industrial schools made a huge difference to the people concerned and this issue will not go away. It meant a huge amount to the people concerned in Australia to have the state officially acknowledged the issue. In 2010 Gordon Brown apologised for Britain's role in some of these activities in disrupting the identity of...

Clare Daly: ...to engage with the executive of Survivors of Symphysiotomy, the group that has been mandated to represent the women in question, to reach a just and fair settlement of the women's claim that is not based on a Magdalen type redress scheme?

Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)

Clare Daly: ...survivor, died. As she was unable to do so, her family were active in fighting for justice for her, a justice she will now never get. In response to a question yesterday from Deputy Adams on the Magdalen laundries, the Tánaiste made the point that time is not on the side of the Magdalen laundries survivors. Time is not on the side of symphysiotomy survivors either. The Taoiseach...

Magdalen Laundries Report: Statements (Resumed) (27 Feb 2013)

Clare Daly: ...the abuse that went on in those institutions. We cannot have that and those points need to be explored further. We have pages and pages of testimony painfully collected in the Justice for Magdalenes submission outlining countless instances of physical abuse meted out to people. I will not go on too much about it but there many different examples. According to one respondent, "if...

Magdalen Laundries: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (13 Feb 2013)

Clare Daly: ...'Ming' Flanagan. We only have two minutes each but even if one had two days one could not begin to scratch the surface of the decades of tyranny and abuse inflicted on women incarcerated in the Magdalen laundries. One of our key functions as a Parliament is to give a voice to those women and I want to say, as many others have said, that I believe the women. The fact that hundreds of...

Magdalene Laundries: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (26 Sep 2012)

Clare Daly: I also read the Justice for Magdalenes report over the weekend and upsetting as it is, it should be made compulsory reading for all citizens. It is a register of the crimes committed by this State against women. After reading the report, there can be no doubt that this was a deliberate social policy which was summed up in the report of the Commission on the Relief of the Sick and Destitute...

Clare Daly: Historically, with the industrial schools and the Magdalene laundries, but recently as well in terms of the children who died in State care and so on, we have ground to make up. I welcome this measure in the context that at the very least it gives us an opportunity to discuss some of these issues and put centre stage the way we defend children's rights and how we identify those rights. The...
