Peter Fitzpatrick: I welcome all the witnesses here today. I am sure we all agree that Irish hospitals are among the safest and best in the world and that our doctors, nurses and midwives do a great job. The Catholic Church stated it has never thought the life of a child in the womb should be preferred to that of the mother and that the mother and child are two patients and I ask Dr. Jones to elaborate on...

Topical Issue Debate: Mother and Baby Homes Inquiries (5 Jun 2014) See 3 other results from this debate

Clare Daly: For anybody to say that these events are surprising would be untrue. The scandals of the mother and baby homes have long been an open secret. The horrors of Tuam were investigated in 1944, when children were found to be emaciated, pot-bellied and uncared for, and there were a far greater number of them than there should have been. The records from that home were handed over to Galway City...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. I begin by extending my continued solidarity to those who endured these institutions and who continue to campaign for justice, truth, support and redress. I thank Senator Dolan for reading out the relevant numbers because it is important when we are having a discussion such as this that we are conscious of the fact that it can retraumatise. It is important...

Like many of the survivors and advocacy groups, I am deeply uncomfortable and disappointed with how the mother and baby homes report has been handled to date, both in terms of the lack of consultation with survivors and previously the rush to...

Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Dec 2018)

Rónán Mullen: -----would be interested enough to pursue the question of whether it ever occurs that babies survive abortion procedures and what happens to them in various jurisdictions. The Minister has a phalanx of advisers, a chief medical officer and the negligence of the situation, to put it kindly, that he would not be familiar with what happens to the point that he could in any way discuss whether...

Gino Kenny: There are many things we cannot change in the past even though we would want to. The past is the past and the present is the present. For survivors of mother and baby institutions it was a deeply painful past. Mother and baby homes were institutions of the State and the Catholic Church. They were for "fallen women" to be banished and punished for the crime of having children out of...

We in Fianna Fáil recognise the vital importance of the commission in delivering justice and accountability for all those affected by mother and baby homes.

Enda Kenny: He has been dealing with the poor and deprived in Buenos Aires in Argentina for many years. He is showing evidence of that in Rome.

Report on the Joint Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Statements (Resumed) (23 Jan 2018)

Mary Butler: People always said, "Congratulations, you are expecting a baby". It is my firm belief that the unborn baby must be protected in the Constitution. That is certainly where my vote will be. The committee witnesses spoke about a foetus and terminating the life of the foetus. What lovely language to use when, ultimately, one is aborting a baby. Everything to be found in a fully grown person...
