We do not want to end up in a situation where the committee's public session every week has clarifications sought and given, which then require further clarifications. Some of the commentary about the late Savita Halappanavar is very distasteful, to say the very least. I do not believe that the committee should be consistently referring to this woman who tragically died as if she was just a statistic and in such a harsh, cold and clinical way all the time. We should now listen to the witnesses who are before us this evening.
