One of the points which did not make the ancillary recommendation list but which featured very highly in the other opinions of the Citizens' Assembly relates to decriminalisation. In the presentations, the question of who will fund and carry out terminations arose. I think Dr. McKenna made the point about not getting licences for abortion pills and so on would not be an impediment to use. Many of the products that serve as abortion pills are already available. Have the witnesses considered how long it would take to make abortion pills available, post-repeal - if that is to be the case - and the decriminalisation of abortion? Presumably, there is no impediment to that if abortion is decriminalised. If the companies want to opt for a change of use, how long would it take?
