Since its establishment, the CDLP has organised and participated in a number of key events regarding disability law reform. The CDLP’s operating philosophy is ‘scholarship in action’ which entails research that addresses the problems that ordinary citizens face and providing practical policy solutions. In the course of our work we have made submissions to national and international bodies advocating for policies and laws that best facilitate the free and full exercise of rights for people with disabilities. Introduction The CDLP welcomes this opportunity to make a submission to the Citizens’ Assembly as it debates an issue of critical importance to people with disabilities in Ireland – the Repeal of the Eighth Amendment of the Irish Constitution. This submission covers three main issues – the impact of the existing Constitutional position on abortion on people with disabilities in Ireland who wish to terminate a pregnancy, the need for better information and support to be provided to those who receive a diagnosis of a foetal abnormality in Ireland, and how a new legislative framework which simultaneously respects reproductive choice and does not discriminate against people with disabilities can be developed in Ireland once the Eighth Amendment is repealed.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Burren Signage Plan
    Burren Signage Plan A report commissioned by Burren Connect, a project funded by Fáilte Ireland, in partnership with Clare County Council, Shannon Development, National Parks & Wildlife Service, National Monuments Service and Burren Beo.. BURREN SIGNAGE PLAN Executive Summary The Burren Signage Plan is a component of the Burren Connect Project, a multi- agency tourism development project for the Burren. Field surveys and a public consultation programme were carried out during May and June of 2007. The signage plan is based on a set of fourteen principles that emerged from consultation, assessments of the Burren landscape and a review of practice elsewhere. The plan recommends that signage in the Burren countryside is kept to a minimum in recognition of the exceptional quality of the landscape. It recommends that primary reliance for navigation is placed on the standard directional road signs, which are in the process of being upgraded on all the national and regional roads in North Clare. The plan considers that there is a place for visitor signage in the Burren, but that signage and visitor information in general should, as far as possible, be concentrated in and near existing villages, at major junctions and at the larger established visitor sites. The plan recommends caution in deploying signage for new recreation initiatives such as looped walks and cycle routes in the remoter areas of the Burren. The Burren does not lend itself to precise geographical definition but a signage plan has to enable drivers and other visitors to be able to answer the question ‘Are we there yet?’ The plan recommends adopting the settlements that ring the area as boundary markers.
