Supports for Survivors of Residential Institutional Abuse Bill 2024: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2025-07-01
============================================================

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

I thank the Senator for being a voice for the people who found themselves in the industrial schools, Magdalen laundries and institutions where so much pain occurred.
Before we took the vote, I was reading the names into the record but the recording did not occur. Before I ask Senator Boyhan to take the Chair for the remaining part of this Bill, which I think is fitting and appropriate, I welcome to the Distinguished Visitors Gallery: Sheila O'Byrne, who was in St. Patrick's Mother and Baby Home, Navan Road, Dublin; Miriam Moriarty Owens, who was in Nazareth House, formerly Pembroke Alms Industrial School for girls, Tralee; Mary Smith, who was in Clonakilty and also in the Sunday's Well Magdalen laundry; and Mary Dunleavy Greene, who was in Mount Saint Vincent's, O'Connell Avenue, Limerick.
I ask Senator Boyhan to chair the remainder of the Bill.
