I am sorry I was not present in the Chamber for Dr. Brady's presentation, but I was listening and I have read it. There is something that he has not dealt with and on which I wonder whether I could get his position. It is something about which I have asked others who have appeared, that is, consent. Reverting back to the X case and that the age of the girl was 14, we heard this morning already from some of the legal experts on the Law Reform Commission's document on medical consent.
I understand that deals with those aged between 15 and 17 years. However, the girl in the X case was 14 years of age. I ask the ICCL's position on consent.
