Catherine Connolly: 1118. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if the acknowledgement that a number of survivors do not accept the accounts given in the final report of the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes as a true and full reflection of what they said to the confidential committee or the commission of investigation as agreed as part of the...

Our group was formed to give gay men and those interested in becoming parents, or those who are parents already, the opportunity to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy: Surrogacy in Ireland and in Irish and International Law: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Apr 2022)

Mary Seery Kearney: We hear the allegation that domestically we are not allowing exploitation but internationally we are. This is to presuppose women in Ireland can have informed consent and make the decision to enter into a surrogacy agreement but somehow women abroad cannot do so. I want to label this for what it is. It is making an assumption that somehow if people do not live in Ireland they do not have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy: Surrogacy in Ireland and in Irish and International Law: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Apr 2022) See 1 other result from this debate

Dr. Mary Wingfield: Communication with the Department of Health is very important. All of my colleagues in all of the fertility clinics throughout the country and in maternity hospitals are willing to engage in any communication and work. We have to say the Covid pandemic and cyber crisis in our health service did not help over the past two years. We did have meaningful discussions prior...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy: Surrogacy in Ireland and in Irish and International Law: Discussion (7 Apr 2022)

Sharon Keogan: ...This is very concerning. Perhaps a better way, surely, is to have countries such as Ukraine agree not to allow couples from countries where commercial surrogacy is banned to avail of it there. Ireland could easily seek to enter into such an agreement. We have big international agreements already in relation to international adoptions. I am quite astonished. We have not learned anything...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Commissions of Investigation (5 Apr 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: When one thinks about all of the tribunals and commissions of investigation we have had, how long they went on for and how much they cost, they are quite telling about the history of this country. A commission of investigation into NAMA related to the housing crisis and what developers did to this country; a commission of investigation into the IBRC, a dodgy bank that lent money to...

Women's Health Action Plan: Statements (31 Mar 2022) See 4 other results from this debate

Joan Collins: The publication of the women's health plan and the objectives outlined in it are very welcome. There are specific issues that relate to women's health and the recognition of that is an important step forward. I welcome especially the proposal for free contraception for 17- to 25-year-olds and the commitment to roll that out to those over 25 in the next period. It would be interesting to...

Written Answers — Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth: Burial Grounds (29 Mar 2022)

Roderic O'Gorman: I have no statutory role or powers in relation to the planning process, which is regulated under the Planning and Development Act 2000. I understand that planning decisions of this nature are functions of the local authority concerned. The Institutional Burials Bill, which I published last month, was developed to provide the required legal basis for intervention at the site of the former...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Registration of Births (24 Mar 2022) See 2 other results from this debate

Holly Cairns: I really hoped this would be one of the topics on which we could all agree and that after all the human rights violations and mistreatment by the State, we would do the right thing immediately and set up this inquiry. The special rapporteur's recommendations and rationale are incredibly clear and compelling. We all know many adopted people could not participate in the commission of...

Written Answers — Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth: Adoption Services (24 Mar 2022)

Roderic O'Gorman: I propose to take Questions Nos. 26 and 36 together. I assume Deputy Bacik is referring to the recently published report by the Special Rapporteur rather than the Ombudsman. In March 2021 I asked Professor Conor O’Mahony, the Special Rapporteur on Child Protection, to consider the significant complexities and challenges which arise in relation to the issue of illegal birth...
