Ireland: a parliamentary democracy
Ireland is a parliamentary democracy. The National Parliament (Oireachtas) consists of the President and two Houses: Dáil Éireann (House of Representatives) and Seanad Éireann (the Senate) whose functions and powers derive from the Constitution of Ireland enacted by the people on 1 July 1937. The Houses of the Oireachtas are situated at Leinster House, Dublin.
Mother and Child Scheme, 12 April 1951
Read Noël Browne's personal statement to the Dáil on his resignation as Minister for Health in 1951.
Browne's attempt to implement the Mother and Child Scheme had been strongly opposed by the medical profession and the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland. They particularly objected to the provision of health care without a means test.
The controversy raised questions about the Roman Catholic Church's influence on Government policy.
