  • The 2013 Irish Legislation on Abortion: Turning-Point Or Missed Opportunity?
    NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND GALWAY European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation A.Y. 2013/2014 The 2013 Irish legislation on abortion: turning-point or missed opportunity? A critical analysis from a human rights perspective Author: Chiara Cosentino Supervisor: Noelle Higgins Ackowledgements I would like to thank Noelle Higgins, from the NUI of Galway, for the supervision of the present work and for her precise and insightful comments and suggestions. Furthermore, I would like to deeply thank the contacted civil society organisations that kindly and enthusiastically agreed on allowing me to steal a bit of their time for interviews. They were fundamental for my analysis, for the perception from the ground they gave me, and for the global picture that I could capture from their different angles of perspective on the topic. In particular I would love to thank for their availability Richie Keane (Coordinator of Doctors For Choice), Sinéad Corcoran (member of the Policy and Advocacy Team of Abortion Right Campaign), Kelly Mackey (from the Campaign Office of Amnesty International Ireland), Maeve Taylor (Senior Policy and Advocacy Officer of the Irish Family Planning Association) and Dette McLoughlin, John Walshe and Joseph Loughnane (members of Galway Pro-Choice). I would also like to thank my family, my parents, my sister and my grandmother for their unconditional support, and for making my participation in this Master possible, both with their practical help and love. I missed them throughout this year, but we all know that, wherever I am, they are always in my heart. Moreover, I would like to thank all my friends, old and new, for what they mean and they will always mean to me.

We organise the annual March for Choice, which this year saw 20,000 people take to the streets of Dublin to demand a change to Ireland’s abortion laws. We aim to promote broad national support for a referendum to repeal the 8th Amendment and the introduction of free, safe and legal abortion access in the State. We believe women can be trusted to choose, and we aim to ensure the health and rights of women in Ireland are protected in line with international best practice and human rights standards. We welcome the opportunity to make a submission to the Citizens’ Assembly during its consideration of the 8th Amendment to the Constitution. 4 INTRODUCTION As the largest grassroots pro-choice organisation in Ireland, we represent those people directly affected by the 8th Amendment. We represent the 12 women each day who leave Irish shores to access standard medical care.

  • Ireland, Abortion Access and the Movement to Remove the Eighth Amendment
    “#Repealthe8th”: Ireland, Abortion Access and the Movement to Remove the Eighth Amendment SINÉAD KENNEDY*1 Abstract Abortion is illegal in almost all circumstances in Ireland, permitted only where there is a risk to the life of the woman due to the eighth amend- ment to the Irish Constitution. While abortion is banned, women living in Ireland do access abortion; they do so legally by travelling abroad, and illegally within Ireland by accessing the abortion pill online. This access is highly mediated by race, class and migration status. This article will consider the politics of Ireland’s abortion ban through the prism of public debates around abortion, reflecting on the discursive devices employed to both chal- lenge and uphold the status quo on abortion. This conclusion will focus on different dimensions of the “Repeal” movement; a movement that pro- pelled Ireland to finally face up to the reality of abortion and change it laws through removing the eighth amendment from the constitution. Keywords: Abortion; Migration; Repeal; Movement; Ireland On Friday 25th May 2018 the Irish electorate voted by two to one majority to remove Article 40.3.3, the prohibition on abortion, from the Irish Con- stitution. While opinion polls had suggested that those who campaigned to remove the ban on abortion would win, it was predicted to be a close result; no one predicted the sheer scale of the victory and the support from every section of society, young and old, urban and rural. In the immediate aftermath of the referendum the result was heralded as nothing short of revolutionary by journalists and activists alike who understood it to be part of a major gender and generational shift in Irish political life.

  • Human Rights Compliant Framework for Abortion in Ireland
    16 December 2016 Amnesty International Ireland HUMAN RIGHTS COMPLIANT FRAMEWORK FOR ABORTION IN IRELAND Submission to the Citizens’ Assembly DEFINITIONS International human rights treaty: also sometimes called a Covenant or a Convention, is adopted by the international community of States, normally at the United Nations General Assembly. Each treaty sets out a range of human rights, and corresponding obligations which are legally binding on States that have ratified the treaty. Treaty monitoring body: each of the international human rights treaties is monitored by a designated treaty monitoring body. The treaty monitoring bodies are committees composed of independent experts. Their main function is to monitor the States’ compliance with the treaty in question, including through the examination of State reports. General comments/recommendations: a treaty monitoring body’s interpretation of the con- tent of human rights provisions on thematic issues or its methods of work. General com- ments seek to clarify the reporting duties of State parties with respect to certain provisions and suggest approaches to implementing treaty provisions. Concluding observations: following submission of a State report and a constructive di- alogue with the State party to the particular convention, treaty monitoring bodies issue concluding observations to the reporting State, which are compiled in an annual report and sent to the United Nations General Assembly. Human rights standards: the meaning and scope of human rights as interpreted and applied by the human rights bodies tasked with this work, e.g. international, regional and national courts, and human rights committees.

  • Discourse and Power in Ireland's Repeal the 8Th Movement
    Interface: a journal for and about social movements Article Volume 13 (1): 193 – 224 (July 2021) McKimmons and Caffrey, Ireland’s Repeal movement Discourse and power in Ireland’s Repeal the 8th movement Elaine McKimmons and Louise Caffrey Abstract Understanding the success of social movements in terms of their situatedness in the social and historical context is a necessary direction for social movement research. In Ireland, much of the research on reproductive rights activism since the 2018 referendum that legalised abortion has examined distinct aspects of the movement that might be improved going forward. The present study endeavoured to examine the discursive strategies used by the Repeal campaign. Qualitative data, collected from 23 activists from the ‘Repeal the 8th Campaign’ at a critical moment in time - ten months before the referendum - were subjected to critical discourse analysis. Situating the Repeal movement within a theoretical framework, we propose that initial pro-choice activism since 1983 maintained the abeyant movement until the receptive environment re-opened. From 2012 to 2018 pro-choice activists capitalised on the newly receptive environment to remove Article 40.3.3 from the Constitution of Ireland successfully. Findings demonstrate how activists created social change by mainstreaming discursive categories that were not previously culturally dominant, drawing on discourses of feminism, modernity versus traditionalism and approaches of strategic consciousness-raising. Keywords: Feminism, Pro-choice Activism, Repeal the 8th, Intersectionality, Social Movement Lifecycle, Critical Discourse Analysis. Introduction In 1983, the Irish public voted to enact the Eighth Amendment to the Irish Constitution (Article 40.3.3). The Eighth amendment was deemed by Irish law to make abortion illegal in all cases – except where there was a ‘real and substantial risk to the life of the mother’ (Attorney General v.

Introduction 1. On 9 December 2010, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (Committee) received information from several organisations1 (sources) pursuant to article 8 of the Optional Protocol (OP) to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (Convention). The sources allege that the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) has committed grave and systematic violations of rights under the Convention due to restrictive access to abortion for women and girls in Northern Ireland (NI). 2. The UK ratified the Convention on 7 April 1986 and acceded to the OP on 17 December 2004. II. Submission by the sources of information 3. The sources submit that in NI, assisting with or procuring an abortion is criminalised, punishable by a maximum sentence of life imprisonment2 and the availability of abortion is highly restricted. They allege failure of the UK, inter alia, to: (a) establish a comprehensive legal framework to protect and guarantee NI women’s right to abortion; (b) ensure that NI women are not exposed to the health risks of unsafe abortion; and, (c) address social, practical and financial obstacles in accessing abortion, which disproportionately affect rural women. The sources allege that the legal framework on abortion discriminates against NI women.

  • Guerrilla Glamour: the Queer Tactics of Dr. Panti Bliss Emer O'toole
    Guerrilla Glamour: The Queer Tactics of Dr. Panti Bliss Emer O'Toole Éire-Ireland, Volume 52, Numbers 3 & 4, Fall/Winter 2017, pp. 104-121 (Article) Published by Irish-American Cultural Institute DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/eir.2017.0024 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/680366 Access provided by New York University (13 Feb 2018 16:50 GMT) Emer O’Toole Guerrilla Glamour: The Queer Tactics of Dr. Panti Bliss Setting the Scene Drag queen Panti Bliss should be conservative Ireland’s worst gay nightmare. Erstwhile organizer of kink nights, openly HIV positive, landlady of a Northside Dublin gay bar, and author of a memoir de- tailing performance art that involves pulling interesting things from her anus, Bliss strays very far from what some queer theorists (e.g., Butler, “Kinship”; Warner; Duggan; Mulhall) consider assimilation- ist political strategies—that is, from gaining rights through modeling gay lifestyles on heterosexual ones rather than through challenging heterosexual institutions. Yet in 2014, following a series of high- profile media and legal events, Bliss became a unifying figurehead for Ireland’s marriage-equality efforts, a self-professed accidental activist whose efforts were crucial to securing a resounding 62 percent vic- tory for the Yes Equality campaign in Ireland’s referendum on same- sex marriage. This article draws on performativity theory to argue for the counterintuitive position that it is precisely Bliss’s status as an os- tentatious drag queen that renders her palatable to a hetero- sexist and homophobic society. It analyzes Bliss’s now iconic “Noble Call” speech from the stage of the Abbey Theatre on 1 Febru- ary 2014 as well as the messaging tactics of the Yes Equality campaign in order to contend that drag provides Bliss permission to speak de- nied to everyday queer behaviors and identities.

  • Marriage Equality and the Catholic Church in Ireland Helen Meaney
    Master Thesis In the Name of the Father, and of the Son: Marriage Equality and the Catholic Church in Ireland Helen Meaney Supervisor: Christina Bergqvist Year: Autumn 2016 Words: 13 869 Points: 15 Abstract This thesis will use the final Marriage Equality Referendum debate which took place on the Irish national broadcaster RTÉ in May 2015 and analyse the No campaign’s willingness to be associated with the Catholic Church through discourse and framing analysis. This qualitative study aspires to ascertain the salience of the Catholic Church to the Irish electorate in areas of moral-social policy in Ireland. It will be found that substantial Catholic identification and high levels of religiosity does not necessitate influence of the Church over the electorate.
