There could be a problem. For example, the legislation was passed in good faith, with the widest possible consultation of the Irish people. The legislation was published in advance of a referendum. It carried considerable weight. Does the Minister expect, as a result of this review or by whatever means, the legislation will be applied universally, across the country, and that there will be no exceptions? I know there is the provision of a possible opt-out by certain practitioners and so on, which is fine, but women the length and breadth of the country are entitled to the services purporting to be provided under the Act. Is he satisfied that can be achieved in the shortest possible time?
