The settled law of this country has been shown to us on this committee as acting as an impediment to doctors, obstetricians and professionals doing their job.

I am happy to support the composite motion as it brings together different strands and, in particular, embraces the evidence that we have heard. I would like Deputy Catherine Murphy's motion on the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland and Medical Council to be encompassed in this motion as well.
