-----so perhaps we need to get further clarification in that regard.

In the case of repeal simpliciter, the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act 2013 then becomes the law of the land. These are all issues we need to discuss over the next few weeks. Is that what people want when the eighth amendment is repealed? We have much work to do, we have the substantive issues to debate and it is very important we work as we did this evening. That mixture of private sessions before going into public session has worked. I thank the Chairman for her work.
