I thank Deputy Commissioner McMahon and her team for attending today. She has outlined some very practical concerns that An Garda Síochána has with the proposed legislation. As a committee, we have a duty and responsibility to articulate these on behalf of the Garda and to ensure our pre-legislative scrutiny reflects them.

The termination-of-pregnancy legislation has now been in place for several years. Has An Garda Síochána dealt with incidents at facilities providing terminations? Have there been arrests? Are there ongoing court proceedings? Have people been prosecuted? What is the current position? What has been the experience of the Garda to date at facilities that provide termination services?
