Report of the Independent Review Group on Dignity and Equality Issues in the Defence Forces: Statements (30 Mar 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am deeply grateful I am to the Women of Honour, whom I welcome to the Public Gallery, and to all the women who came forward to give first-hand accounts of their experiences, both members and former members. I too want to recognise Katie Hannon. We should not be in a position where we have to wait for RTÉ to do a "Prime Time Investigates" programme before we react to some of this...

Mother and Baby Institutions Redress Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (19 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I want to thank the Social Democrats' Members for tabling this motion. Unfortunately, they should not have had to do this. We are coming back here time and time again.

Will he now acknowledge that the information peddled by the Minister, the Taoiseach and the Government was totally false? This concerns me because we were led to believe that there was engagement on this matter with the Attorney General. Time and again the Taoiseach and his...

Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and certain related Matters) Records, and another Matter, Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Oct 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: On 7 March 2017, I was very proud of our former Taoiseach and my fellow countyman, Enda Kenny, when he gave a very emotional speech in the Dáil. He stated: We gave them up because of our perverse, in fact, morbid relationship with what is called respectability. Indeed, for a while it seemed as if in Ireland our women had the amazing capacity to self-impregnate. For their trouble, we...
