Dr. Caitriona Henchion:

Yes.

I suppose in the context that so many people access so many things online, it is not particularly surprising that if one has a service that one cannot access locally that people will look on the Internet, they will actually go online and if they find a solution to their problem, that may not be perfect in their eyes but is still a solution, they are going to use that solution. I think the only way we can address that really is by facing up to the fact that Irish women are having abortions every day and we need to actually provide those services in Ireland. Then that way we can make sure that they are properly monitored, that they are properly overseen and that they are of high standards. We can say that as a country, the HSE for example, is accountable for them, they must be of good quality.
