Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution

Socioeconomic Context: Dr. Caitriona Henchion and Mr. Niall Behan, Irish Family Planning Association

1:30 pm

That could certainly be a problem. As I said before, we only see a small number of these women because we are not likely to see women who do not have problems. Even when they do have problems, they may do nothing rather than risk coming to somebody who they feel might report them. I can only guess that it might be a factor in delaying access to abortion.
