Dr. Patricia Lohr:

I do not think we know the abortion rate for Ireland. National statistics are not collected, for example, of women who obtain medication over the Internet. I am unaware of whether the Netherlands reports separately on women giving Irish addresses who are treated in that country. As I stated, we can only count in the UK the number of women who give Irish addresses. There may be a number of women coming from Ireland who do not give Irish addresses and who therefore would not be counted in national statistics.
