European Parliament and Council Directive on Protecting Persons who engage in Public Participation: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2022-07-06
============================================================

Mick Barry (PBP), Cork North-Central

In that case, I will set aside my other comments and conclude by saying we need compassion and professional help in cases like this. Jail should not be the punishment for young women who give birth in secret and in shock. I call on the Minister to review sentencing guidelines and to call for this woman's release.
