Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution

Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations

1:30 pm

Ms Emily Logan:

If we can be of any help to the Deputy, we could elaborate at another stage and I would be very happy to meet him on a one-to-one basis. It could give the Deputy time to talk to us about the deliberations we have had. It is important for the Deputy to understand that in terms of procedure, we are not presenting one view, we are representing the majority view of the commission. It is important to understand that we are mandated under the legislation to look specifically not only at the legislation in Ireland but also at international human rights law.
