Ms Marie O'Shea:

To illustrate the point, service providers and service users said that when it comes to foetal anomaly, they were being told where the foetus is affected by a condition:

We do not think it will survive birth and even if it does, it will not live long after birth. However, we cannot say how long it will live - whether it will be 28 days or not.

That is not a clear ground for somebody to understand whether they are eligible to receive abortion services. The Act lacks clarity and that is why it is open to challenge at international law.
