The child to which Senator Mullen referred is mine. I will say this much about my daughter, thank God she has been born in this year so that in years to come she will live within an ideology of care and compassion for women and not the judgmental views of Senators such as Mullen and Ó Domhnaill which would send her across the waves for the care that she needs, feeling like a criminal. Thankfully, in this year we have had a referendum and we are passing legislation that brings her closer to being an equal citizen in this Republic and not a second-class citizen which those Senators would have her remain.
