I also noted that at a previous all-party Oireachtas committee hearing on abortion in 2009, the then chairman of the Institute of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Professor John Bonnar, submitted a position paper on abortion only after consulting with all members of the institute. I note Dr. Boylan stated today in his paper that he has also canvassed institute members' opinions. How many did he canvass?
Why did he not undertake a consultation or survey of all the members of the Institute of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists before coming to us today?
