Dr. Maeve Eogan:

We do not have that information. We know that far more people are raped than become pregnant after rape. That may be because of the trauma of becoming pregnant after rape that one does not disclose it until later on. However, the Deputy is correct that there are very many countries that get over this by having easy access to termination of pregnancy and which already have access to termination of pregnancy without having to give a reason. Ultimately, we are the technical advisers and the committee members are the legislators so they can take our information and use it in their deliberations.
