The Minister stated that inevitable miscarriage is not within the scope of this Bill. I wonder if it is in the scope of any Bill. To reiterate what was stated, when dealing with medical matters - as the Minister, Deputy Reilly, will be aware more than most - there are often unanswered questions, and one must make the decision based on the information presented at the time.

On a second issue, I reiterate what Deputy Regina Doherty asked. Is there is any comfort we can offer to women who will be faced with these difficult decisions in the future? Like the Minister of State, Deputy White, I look forward to when we can re-examine the 1983 provision in the Constitution.
