Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (5 Feb 2014) See 2 other results from this debate

Denis Naughten: The most disgusting aspect of the debacle is that the parents were told their innocent baby was stillborn when the baby was born alive. How can any health professional stand over this? Not only does it have major implications for how the birth is treated from a legal perspective, but far more importantly, it has far-reaching consequences for the mother, who will naturally question herself....

Mattie McGrath: -----banners and lines of gardaí trying to keep people away from those marching. We do not interrupt marches others want to have. I welcome yesterday's march as well.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Implementation of Government Decision Following Expert Group Report into Matters Relating to A, B and C v. Ireland (9 Jan 2013)

Ms Jennifer Schweppe: No problem. I am expecting a baby. What is inside my body is unborn; it is a foetus. It is not a baby; babies are born. One expects the baby to come out of one's body. Once it does so, then it is a baby. I am also not a mother. I do not have any other children, therefore, I am a pregnant woman. When we use very emotive language like "mother" and "baby", it...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (29 Nov 2018)

Michael Harty: This is a difficult issue. I am not sure about the circumstances where Deputy Mattie McGrath and others spoke about a baby surviving a termination of pregnancy but there are four areas in this legislation where a pregnancy can be terminated. One area is before 12 weeks, so that will not apply to this amendment. The second area is when there is an emergency and it quite possible that a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: Termination for Medical Reasons Ireland (25 Oct 2017)

Jan O'Sullivan: I suppose all I can say is that this is extraordinarily difficult for both of the witnesses and for others who are in the same situation. It is also extremely powerful in terms of explaining to people what is involved. Like others, I thank the witnesses for this. Most of the questions have been around the experience of the baby dying. I was particularly moved by the cruelty of what...
