Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution

Termination Arising From Rape: Mr. Tom O'Malley, NUI Galway; Dublin Rape Crisis Centre; and Dr. Maeve Eogan, Rotunda Hospital

1:30 pm

Mr. Tom O'Malley:

In terms of the first scenario mentioned by the Deputy, where there is evidence of a stranger rape-type situation, even then somebody has to make a decision. In other words, the woman must go and apply for or request an abortion but the question then is who does she go to.
