Rónán Mullen (Independent) | Oireachtas source

Sa teaghlach, in the family; motherhood in the family. Whether people like it or not, there are many mothers who value their duties within the family. I could be wrong, and ultimately it is not the critical point, but if there was an honest analysis of the views of Irish women and their representatives in the Oireachtas back then on that provision, I suspect it was a minority viewpoint that held that it was in some way oppressive and limiting. I am entirely open to being corrected by the historians in this matter but I know that there is often a lot of selective quotation that goes on in these matters.

I do not know whether Senator Keogan wants me to move her amendment, which I am supporting. May I do so if it is called for at this point?
