Fortieth Amendment of the Constitution (Care) Bill 2023: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2024-01-22
============================================================

Róisín Garvey (GP), Nominated by the Taoiseach

It is proposed to remove the reference to the woman's life within the home and recognise the value of care and support which family members give to one another and which are a foundation for solidarity and cohesion within our society. I will say it again: a woman's place is wherever she bloody well wants to be. I do not appreciate Senator McDowell telling me that women should be at home.
