Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Marie O'Shea:

I understand and hear the Senator that he was comforted by the mandatory three-day wait but what is being proposed is not taking away a time for a person to reflect. As I stated, the Houses of the Oireachtas have a duty of care not only to people who might change their mind, but also to people who are currently being adversely affected by that three-day wait, as outlined in the report.
