In terms of risk, and this is a question for the three witnesses, currently we are very restrictive in Ireland. It has to be when there is a real and substantial risk to the life of the mother. Dr. Boylan said, and I assume this is corroborated by the other witnesses, that the woman does not have any discussion in this. The medical professionals make that assessment and the only opinion the woman can offer is to refuse a termination. Is that correct?
