Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
Mapping Diversity, Negotiating Differences: Constitutional Discussions on a Shared Island: Discussion
Professor Jennifer Todd:
There were a couple of concerns among three different groups and they all started off with many frustrations. Often, it was with one specific issue. For example, one woman had had a baby in the North and was living in the South, so had to come back to the South and photocopy all our medical records to give them to her doctors in the hospitals in the South. This became a discussion point throughout the seminar in the context of the difficulties of communication between hospitals.
I am not sure whether my machine is working properly, so I might ask Dr. McEvoy to continue.
