Deputy Regina Doherty asked a question I was going to ask. Fair play to her. I asked all the questions I had to ask in session 3 but I will repeat one question about which many of my constituents are concerned. Are the witnesses satisfied the proposed legislation will provide for mandatory care of newly-born children resulting from later stage termination in order to vindicate their equal right to life in the Constitution?

On the list of smaller hospitals, I see Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda, which the people of Louth call a big hospital.
