Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion
Ms Marie O'Shea:
They very much do and, quite honestly, one’s heart would go out to them. I refer to a trial by jury with the prospect of 14 years in prison. We had a horrendous crime which was covered in the media, a very vicious murder, and that person got 14 years because they deliberately went out and caused a horrific situation. I cannot comment on other people and I can only comment on the theme, as I see it, which came through in the research, and that concerned medical practitioners.
