Seanad Electoral (University Members) (Amendment) Bill 2024 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)

Question declared.

Maternity Protection Bill 2024 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (23 Oct 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister for giving some clarification on that. I note that they have had success in Northern Ireland in encouraging people to come forward. Unfortunately that is not our experience in Ireland. It is not the experience of Dr. Mark Coen and what he found on the grounds of the laundry in Dublin. I know from the McAleese report that the Magdalen laundry in Galway distinguished...

Maternity Protection Bill 2024 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (23 Oct 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: In the situations the Deputy describes which have pertained previously in respect of the records of laundries, Dr. McAleese was told there were no records and then they were found in the abandoned Donnybrook Magdalen laundry. I suppose the difference between then and what will pertain after this legislation is that it will now be a criminal offence. It will be a criminal offence to leave...

(1) An information source shall, subject to subsections (8) and (11), in respect of a relevant record in his or her possession— (a) retain the relevant record, (b) maintain the relevant record, and (c) where the relevant...

Maternity Protection Bill 2024 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (23 Oct 2024)

Amendment agreed to.

Maternity Protection Bill 2024 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (23 Oct 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I wish to speak briefly to those amendments on the preservation of records. I am on record for welcoming this and saying it has to be done. I do not appreciate the way it is being done. I understand the Minister is under pressure now and it has to be done. In relation to the preservation of records, it is urgent. When the mother and baby home report was published in 2021, I was critical...

Maternity Protection Bill 2024 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (23 Oct 2024)

Seán Sherlock: In a similar vein to Deputy Connolly, first of all I acknowledge the need for this. I appreciate that we had a briefing on this last week. I am old school in that I hate rushing legislation. We need a little more time on these matters, but we are where we are. I acknowledge the work of Dr. Mark Coen, Dr. Maeve O'Rourke, Dr. Clare McGettrick, Professor James Smith and Professor...

Roderic O'Gorman: First of all, I thank the Deputies for their support for this amendment and for their engagement with me over recent weeks when we were able to provide briefings on what we are doing here and the reason for the speed at which we are doing it, which I acknowledge. I also thank Dr. Maeve O'Rourke, Dr. Mark Coen and the special advocate for survivors, Ms Patricia Carey, for their engagement...

Maternity Protection Bill 2024 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (23 Oct 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: The Deputy referenced it earlier in the process, and I thank him for bringing it forward. I will make a broader point and a specific point on this particular issue. The campaign to extend to women who were ill the ability to postpone maternity leave was first introduced by the Irish Cancer Society. It was originally for women who were experiencing cancer during maternity leave. That is a...

Maternity Protection Bill 2024 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (23 Oct 2024)

Seán Sherlock: I am a little bit at pains to understand the justification with regard to the inpatient hospital treatment insertion within the legislation. However, I am very conscious of the need to have this legislation dispensed with today. On that basis, I will withdraw, but I suspect we will be coming back to that very issue again at some future date. I have no doubt about it. I think we all share...
