I thank both of the witnesses for their brave and powerful words this evening. In their submission, they said that they were forced to endure unnecessary suffering. Ms Cullen-Delsol may have answered part of my question already, which relates to State supports during the pregnancy, whether leading up to the termination or in the case that the woman proceeds with the pregnancy, and then afterwards. Other than termination being offered in Ireland, from their own experiences and those of others, can the witnesses identify specific State supports that should be in place prior to termination or birth and afterwards?
