Dr. Seán Ó Domhnaill:

I can quickly tell the committee about my experience in Jersey in 1997 when the abortion Act was extended there. One of my consultant colleagues there had a stack of leaflets at the side of her desk all pre-stamped. All that was required was the name of the patient. We know from investigations in Britain going back as far as 1974 that this has been repeatedly shown to be the case. The Sunday Telegraph has done undercover investigations which have also shown this. It is something we need to worry about.
