- Seanad: Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination and Public Display) Bill 2022: Second Stage (22 Nov 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: People are waiting on this. They have waited for this Bill for years. The Irish Kidney Association and many others have been working towards this day and the completion of this Bill. I commend the Minister on working so hard to bring this about. Organ donation has always been a difficult topic to discuss with next of kin because such discussions invariably happen in the context of a very...

- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Court Accommodation (8 Nov 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: The Minister of State is very welcome. I realise this is not his Department so I appreciate his taking the time to come and answer this on behalf of the Minister for Justice. My Commencement concerns the long-awaited family law court complex at Hammond Lane. We are long past needing a new family law court complex for Dublin. Dolphin House and Phoenix House are not fit for purpose. The...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Court Accommodation (8 Nov 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I am left feeling a bit cold after that answer, to be honest. It is not the Minister of State's fault - I know it is not his Department - but there was absolutely nothing in that that we did not know. I want to know why the projects were decoupled. When was that decision made? We all know the two Garda stations were decoupled. Why was that done? Why did the Minister say in October 2022...

- Seanad: Provision of Free HRT Treatment: Motion [Private Members] (18 Oct 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I thank our colleague Senator Pauline O'Reilly and her colleagues in the Green Party for proposing this very important motion. It is great to have the opportunity to discuss it, coincidentally on World Menopause Day. We cannot discuss women's health enough because such discussions were sorely lacking for years. It was never discussed in these Houses or beyond it and that has stored up an...

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I appreciate that some of my questions have already been covered. I thank Dr. Conlon for clarifying the rigorous extent of the peer review and examination of the research. I know all three witnesses are very experienced in this area and I appreciate the clarification. On the three-day wait, I thank the witnesses for outlining what they believe would be a positive impact on women if the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Oct 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: That was really helpful. Many people who would not be familiar with being pregnant might find it hard to wrap their heads around the concept that people do not have a full 12 weeks to decide but actually only have a very limited time. When one factors in a three-day wait on top of that, it can be extremely problematic, even with the best will in the world. As Dr. Conlon outlined, for...
