I thank the groups for their presentations. I have only two questions. First, we learned over the past couple of days that it has been estimated that 14 women a day are going to England for abortions. Do they have any research or information on these women, not specifically on who they are but on the reasons they are going, what age they are, the demographics, etc.?

It is important that we get some explanation for that. Reference has been made to safe legal abortion in Ireland. At what point might it be permitted to abort a foetus for whatever reason? It is important for us to know that in the context of the X case because if somebody is suicidal at a particular point, such as the second trimester, would the witnesses agree with abortion or delivery?
