I welcome back Ms O'Shea and thank her for taking the time to be here. We had some lengthy discussions the last time she was here and it was very helpful to unpack some of the recommendations. I will make just one broad point about the current legal architecture which underpins abortion services. Ms O'Shea will be aware that many people have a concern about the criminal underpinning of that architecture. I think she made reference to this in the context of World Health Organization trends and so on. As to what she recommended, there are some who would argue that her report has not gone far enough in this space. Was that because of the limitations of the terms of reference or were there other reasons? What is her general view of that criminal underpinning of the current architecture of abortion services?
