Mr. Tom O'Malley:

I agree with what Deputy Coppinger said about Poland. It has been before the European Court of Human Rights on several occasions for failing to properly apply its own law. If Ireland were to introduce some kind of verification procedure, people who became pregnant as a result of rape would probably go to England, as they do now. That would be far simpler from their point of view than going through the trauma a verification process might cause. That is what would most likely happen.
