I thank Mr. O'Connor and his team for their work on this complex matter. When we first started debating it, so many issues were highlighted. It is down to our guests' dedication that we have worked our way through most of them.

I will touch on the topic raised by Deputy Cullinane regarding the mainstreaming of services and the lack of availability of termination services throughout the country. We have heard from GPs that, among other reasons, the fear of protests outside their practices is one reason why they would not be tempted to provide abortion services in their practice. Has the Department undertaken any survey or investigation with GPs to see how many of them would sign up once this proposed legislation is passed?
