I wish to clarify a point. There seem to be some words missing. Nothing much turns on it, but the motion should read:
That the committee acknowledges that in over 50% of cases of unplanned or crisis pregnancies some form of contraception was being used and failed. Notwithstanding this, it is still of the view that this is an area where we can do work to reduce the overall number of unplanned or crisis pregnancies by providing for more affordable and accessible contraception in the State.
It does not read properly without the words in the middle, but nothing really turns on it.
