Ms Abigail Rooney:

The medical experts have said there has been no death due to the lack of medical interventions. I am not a doctor and I do not have the statistics. I trust doctors in this country. I am sure the women who would otherwise have died went to England. They deal with the women of Ireland compassionately whereas we do not.

Yes, there is a danger the X case is too narrow. However, it is what we are dealing with in our Constitution which does not allow for broader terms to be brought in.

I was not really sure what Senator Healy Eames meant by the social and emotional context of the X case.
