Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution

Ancillary Recommendations of the Citizens' Assembly Report: Department of Health and the HSE

3:00 pm

Dr. Tony Holohan:

In response to the question on crisis pregnancy, we can go into detail about some of the services that are provided. In respect of the scenarios we are trying to envisage in trying to see around the corners in as much as we can, we are trying to ensure that we consider things from a service point of view and what will need to be in place to ensure that, whatever form of legislation might be enacted, whatever form of constitutional change might take place, the legal and service implications of that can be made to operate, and to understand what that would mean in service terms. That may or may not take us into some of the issues that the Deputy is talking about.
