I agree with the points mentioned about Ireland being a safe place for women based on mortality rates, as we allowed a different message to go out earlier in the year. I have a point that may have been covered earlier and one speaker can respond to it. If there is physical or mental incapacity, is there any role in the Bill for next of kin, such as parents, father, sister or brother if there is a requirement to act or not act? Is there a role for next of kin in the legislation?
