Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I would need to look at the exact contents of its statement. I have met representatives of groups who are asking that the policy, itself, be reviewed as part of this. One of the ones they use is exactly this. It has come up several times. Several groups want the Act to be more liberal. For example, they want the three-day waiting period taken away as a matter of policy regardless of whether it is being operated correctly. They have a very coherent view which they have had right from the start for many years that it should not be there. The review is not coming at this from that perspective. It is not making any judgment as to whether it is right or wrong to have that three-day waiting period. A policy judgment, which is a matter for the Oireachtas, is out of scope.
