Seán Fleming (Laois, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank Stephen and Vicky sincerely for telling us your story here today. We are grateful to listen to the harrowing stories. It is a deeply humbling experience for me and for most of us. We are here to listen and we have listened to the failures of the State and State institutions that resulted in the needless deaths of women. You are here, helping the Oireachtas and Government make sure that is right for the future. Everything will have been in vain if there are no fundamental changes for the future. Some good may come out of the harrowing stories if real improvements are made and situations like this never occur again. Are you open for comment or a question or two from members of the committee?
