1946

Bacik's paternal grandfather, Charles Bacik, was a Czech factory owner who moved to Ireland in 1946.

He eventually settled in Waterford and in 1947 was involved in the establishment of Waterford Crystal.

Her mother's side of the family are Murphys from County Clare.

Her father was an astronomer and was employed in a number of locations.

As a result, she lived in London and South Africa, before moving to Crookstown, County Cork, twenty miles west of Cork City, aged six, when he became a physics lecturer in the Cork Institute of Technology.

She attended the nearby national school in Cloughduv.

When Bacik was 11 years old, her family moved to the Sunday's Well area of Cork City.

At the age of 14, she moved to Dublin.

1968

Ivana Catherine Bacik (born 25 May 1968) is an Irish Labour Party politician who has been Leader of the Labour Party since 24 March 2022 and a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Dublin Bay South constituency since winning a by-election on 9 July 2021.

1980

Bacik is known in particular for her abortion rights campaigning since the 1980s, and her high media profile.

1989

A High Court injunction had been ordered against Bacik and other members of the TCD Students' Union in October 1989.

In November 1989, Bacik was informed by the Gardaí that the Union of Students in Ireland (USI) and the TCD Students' Union were under investigation following complaints that "they were corrupting the public morals by disseminating information on abortion."

In an article she wrote for the International Planned Parenthood Federation, she said it was soon-to-be Irish President Mary Robinson that prevented her and students' union members from going to prison.

1990

Bacik resigned as president of Trinity College Dublin Students' Union in 1990, after breaking the mandate from the Union membership regarding voting for candidates at a Union of Students in Ireland conference.

Despite 13 TCD representatives being mandated to vote for one candidate, Martin Whelan, a former TCD SU president, it transpired that he received only 12 votes, Bacik's vote instead being given to the feminist former UCD SU officer, Karen Quinlivan.

A controversy erupted in the Students' Union and a subsequent internal investigation led to Bacik's resignation.

She was taken to court by the anti-abortion group, the Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child (SPUC), for providing information on abortion.

SPUC were successful in the court case, although that success came in the 1990s, long after Bacik had graduated from Trinity College.
