Finally, I have a question for Dr. Monaghan and, indeed, all the witnesses. Has there been any case in their experience where they have been so inhibited by current legislation that they were unable to deal with a mother whose life was at serious and substantial risk? Previous speakers were asked that question and only one case was cited, which was the recent case in Galway. I understood the coroner said in that case that, in fact, it was different issues rather than the legislation. Are any of the witnesses familiar with that case to shed more light on it?
