It is very helpful that Deputy Rabbitte says that, because I am blue in the face trying to get people to see that this is an environment where we want the information. We are looking at women's health care in regard to the eighth amendment of the Constitution. It is very important that we hear from as many witnesses as we can who are relevant to the proceedings. In fairness to Deputy Mattie McGrath and Senator Rónán Mullen, they suggested two advocacy groups in that area early on. We agreed as a committee that we would have TMFR and the group I have just mentioned, One Day More.
This is a very important clarification on all areas of expertise. I will allow the Deputy more time to put questions.
