I will ask Dr. Kevin Walsh and Dr. Janice Walshe the same three questions. As I did not hear the beginning of Deputy Kelleher's intervention, I am not sure if I will be repeating his questions. Were any medical terminations carried out in either of the witnesses' specialties in Ireland in the past several years? Were any of their patients delayed treatment, voluntarily or otherwise, or refused treatment because of their pregnancy? Do they know of any patients who were pregnant and travelled outside of our jurisdiction?

If this legislation is passed, I ask Ms Lawrence whether it will change how nurses and midwives react to pregnant women presenting with a medical emergency such as ectopic pregnancy or pre-eclampsia, aside from mental health issues or the two specialties represented by Dr. Kevin Walsh and Dr. Janice Walshe.

Will the legislation, if passed, change the way in which our guests would receive and treat that woman from the way in which they do so now?
