The amendment states, "other than ... in a case where there is a risk to the life of the pregnant woman." The Deputy is factually wrong, it does not cater for anybody else.

May I ask if the Deputy wants to keep the money in Ryanair's pockets or in the pockets of people in this country? That is the reality. The Deputy spoke about saving money but people have saved money from this. I tried to draw that out but the reality of the proposal is that the wealthy women will be able to access abortion whereas working class and poor women and people who cannot travel will continue to suffer. It is unbelievable.
