Debating the Eighth Book PDF Summary
The contentious 1983 Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of Ireland introduced a constitutional prohibition on the provision of abortion within the Irish State. In the decades since, further referendums, court cases and legislation have tried to adjust and clarify the scope of this provision, often in the midst of bitter and angry debate. With the current government promising a referendum on repealing the Eighth in May/June 2018, the debate is growing again. But in the midst of claim and counter-claim, media debates, Twitter rants and false news fears on Facebook, what are the arguments for retaining or repealing the Eighth? In Debating the Eighth, sixteen contributors put forward their positions on the defining issue of our generation. Gathered together in one volume are presented arguments from: Jan O’Sullivan, TD (Labour)Tracy Harkin, the Iona InstituteKate O’Connell, TD (Fine Gael)Niamh Uí Bhriain, the Life InstituteCatherine Connolly, TD (Independent)Declan Ganley, pro-life speaker and campaignerBríd Smith, TD (People Before Profit)Bernadette Goulding, Women HurtUrsula Barry, Co-Director of the Centre for Gender, Feminisms and Sexualities, UCDDr Anthony McCarthy, Society for the Protection of Unborn ChildrenKevin Keane, President of Trinity College Dublin Students’ UnionRóisín Bradley, Fianna Fáil (writing in a personal capacity)Valerie Tarico, psychologist and a social commentatorKaren Gaffney, Karen Gaffney FoundationA Catholic priest (identified in the book)Mark Fitzpatrick, Arann Reformed Baptist Church Debating the Eighth is unique in providing both sides of the debate with an equal platform to put forward their arguments.
