Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution
Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Engagement with Ms Justice Mary Laffoy, Citizens' Assembly
1:30 pm
Ms Sharon Finegan:
It was a numbers issue in so far as the five that were selected to be ancillary recommendations were the five that appeared most frequently, and we referred to the other two, which were, the one Ms Justice Laffoy has just referenced - the decriminalisation - and there is another one, because they were the two that appeared the next most frequently and we felt it was important to reference them, but they did not appear at the same frequency as the others so it was purely a numbers issue.
