Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Heads of Protection of Life during Pregnancy Bill 2013: Public Hearings (Resumed)
6:40 pm
Mr. John Saunders:
I cannot answer the last question because I am giving views on procedural arrangements. We noted there was no appeal to a court, regardless of the decision made by the review group and we stand over this. The Freedom of Information Act is about transferring information to the public domain and it has provisions on withholding personal information. It is a matter for the Houses of the Oireachtas to decide whether the Act applies in total or not under this legislation.
