Dr. Seán Ó Domhnaill:

To respond to Senator Crown, he knows my position on abortion. It has been made clear by some of the psychiatrists who have appeared today that anyone who holds my position on abortion should be excluded from the panels. If all doctors who believe that abortion is not a treatment for suicidality are excluded, we will be left with certain psychiatrists and their friends. We are relying on the Oireachtas to provide a safeguard. That is the simple truth of the matter.
