Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Heads of Protection of Life during Pregnancy Bill 2013: Public Hearings (Resumed)
11:10 am
Mr. Tony O' Connor:
My apologies to Deputy Troy for not initially understanding the question he raised. If I understand him correctly, he is asking whether the legislation creates a presumption. My view, which may well differ from his own, is that it is representing the existing law. It may be putting it into a statute, but it is the existing law.
