Ms Mary Brosnan:

Every woman and every citizen in Ireland has been listening to that debate. I can only say from a professional perspective that as midwives and clinicians working in the hospital as nurses working and providing all of the services at the moment - we mentioned fertility, termination of pregnancy and sterilisation - all those things are happening without religious influence and we know they will continue to happen. It is ten years ago that Savita Halappanavar passed away. It was a tragedy for every person involved and in particular her family and all the community. The legislation since then has protected women's interests. Termination of pregnancy is now legal. It is being provided in many of the hospitals in the country. That will continue in the St. Vincent's campus.
