I move amendment No. 49:

In page 11, between lines 20 and 21, to insert the following:"(3) A medical practitioner shall be disqualified from membership of the review panel where he or she has previously refused to perform an abortion on ground of conscientious objection and or has previously expressed publicly an opinion in general opposition to abortion in all its forms and or abortion as a treatment option under the terms of this Act.".

I ask my colleague, Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett, to comment on this proposal.
