Institutional Burials Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2022-07-06
============================================================

Mary Seery Kearney (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

To be fair, the Minister has covered absolutely everything I wanted to say other than thank you. He is the only person left out in that regard. He has shown great commitment and passion to bring about the solace he speaks about. I, too, pay tribute to Catherine Corless. I think of the Preamble to the Constitution and of the concept of cherishing all the children. I hope the decision today will bring forward the spirit that underpins our Republic, which involves cherishing all the children, and bring dignity and respect where there has been none heretofore, because that is the very least those affected deserved.
