With respect, it is very relevant if an organisation is presenting here and if the stated policy of that organisation on its public website is that it favours the availability of abortion in all circumstances. I would like that to be confirmed.

My second question for Mr. Behan is that point 24 in his presentation mentions the need for progress and legislation before the next tragic case. We have heard today from a wide variety of witnesses who have all put on record that to the best of their knowledge, there have been no maternal deaths arising from our current constitutional position and legislation. Could Mr. Behan let me know what tragic cases he is referring to? Would he confirm his organisation is in full compliance with and fully respects the law of the land at present?
