Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Childcare Services (21 Mar 2024)

Marie Sherlock: I welcome the establishment of the national home visiting programme. I am struck, however, by the fact the research into home visiting services was commissioned in 2022 and was supposed to be completed in 2023. We hear now it is going to be completed this year. There is only one year left of this Government. I very much hope the outcomes from that research will be acted upon this year. ...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Heritage Sites (4 Oct 2023)

Marie Sherlock: I thank the Minister of State for taking this question today. It is directed to the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, who controls public expenditure in this country but who is also a Minister in the constituency this question is relevant to.

Her mother, Rose, was a resident in the Tuam mother and baby home on two separate occasions....

Seanad: National Maternity Hospital and Women's Health Action Plan: Statements (1 Jun 2022)

Marie Sherlock: ...good people behind it. I refer to the women's health task force. Services that have long been fought for are now committed to in this plan. I am struck by the theme running through the document and mentioned on the cover, which is "Listen. Invest. Deliver". That is what Government and politics are about, are they not? They are about listening, investing and delivering. I want to ask...

Seanad: Report of the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation: Statements (Resumed) (26 Jan 2021)

Marie Sherlock: ...last week was a very important one. I welcome the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman. Much has already been said about the report. From my perspective it is hard to put into words the sense of horror and shame reading some of the women's testimonies and the report of the confidential committee. Reflected in the body of the report was that women were treated worse than animals. Many of the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Jul 2020)

I want to support the call by Senator Gavan for a debate on the terms, conditions and rights of those who went out to...
