Bernard Durkan: 1068. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the grounds upon which a person (details supplied) may not get redress, who is a potential beneficiary under the Mother and Baby Home Redress Programme, but who understands that despite being affected in a similar way to others, may not get redress on the basis of their lesser stay in the institutions; and if...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Disabled People's Organisations and the Implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (1 Jun 2023)

...We had a protest a couple of weeks ago outside the gates of Leinster House about getting the optional protocol ratified. I thank every Deputy who turned up that day, as well as fellow DPO members and colleagues who turned up to support us. However, I was horrified to see the lack of support from other people in here in Leinster House. Even on that day, one person with a disability...

Seanad: Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (31 May 2023)

Roderic O'Gorman: I thank the Senator. He is right that the Report Stage debate is scheduled for four hours at the moment. As the Senator knows, Committee Stage was originally scheduled for three hours and we have been dealing with it for a lot longer. That is absolutely fine because it is important legislation. It is important that we give the amendments that were in order and, in certain circumstances,...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Commissions of Investigation (30 May 2023)

Leo Varadkar: ...major investment in the State. Nothing specifically came up that was untoward about it. However, the numbers availing of it are much larger than we expected. Almost all came from the one country and that raised concerns. That is why we suspended it. Let us not forget that it brought millions of euro into sports clubs, community centres and economic programmes all around the country....

Roderic O'Gorman: I am not in a position to accept the amendment as presented but that is not to say that I do not understand the intention behind it. That intention of acknowledgement lies behind the wider Government approach to mother and baby and county home institutions, as outlined in the steps we set out in the action plan. Central to that was the apology the Taoiseach made on behalf of the State. It...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Homelessness Issues: Discussion (30 May 2023)

Victor Boyhan: I apologise for my absence. I was speaking in the Seanad on the mother and baby homes redress Bill. It struck me when I was speaking on the Bill that it ties in to this issue because many homeless people have come from institutional care. The discussion on the older cohort reminded me of the number of people who have come from various areas of State care, such as health facilities and...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage [Private Members] (25 May 2023)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Cowardice, conservatism, misogyny and a patronising attitude towards women has characterised the treatment of women in this country for virtually the entire history of the State. These attitudes led to the obscenities of the mother and baby homes, the Magdalen laundries, the Bethany homes and to tens and tens of thousands of women having to flee abroad under a shadow of stigma and shame for...

Lynn Boylan: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit and the guests in the Gallery. I welcome this motion. It has been long-standing Sinn Féin policy to name the children's hospital after Dr. Kathleen Lynn. When a motion came before Dublin City Council, it was indicative that only Fine Gael opposed it. The motion passed by 11 votes to four. As was said in the emails we received, the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 May 2023)

Paul Gavan: This evening, we are back on Committee Stage of the Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill. I wish to make an appeal to colleagues across the Chamber at this point, because something fundamentally wrong is happening. A Bill that is fundamentally flawed is going to be passed on Committee and Report Stages over the next week and then passed into law. As we all know, this is a Bill...

Réada Cronin: ...this is the first report from the CSO, how many other reports have we seen before the House? I want to mention past generations who were the victims of sexual, gender-based or domestic violence and were silent or silenced. Instead of being protected, they were accused. Instead of being seen, they gave birth in fields, grottos or sheds. Instead of being minded by the community, they...
