Senator Gavan has already referred to my next point. Obviously the Irish cohort is so small there have not been any studies of it. There was a dip in 2013 and a very small number of Irish women travelling to the Netherlands in that year. Do the witnesses have any idea why that happened? Also, is there any after-care regime in place for foreign women generally or Irish women in particular who have abortions in the Netherlands?
