Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution
Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Engagement with Ms Justice Mary Laffoy, Citizens' Assembly
1:30 pm
Ms Justice Mary Laffoy:
That is very much the case. I, personally, did not engage at all with the members of the assembly on the topics we were discussing. The Deputy raised the question of fatal foetal abnormalities and incest and rape. I cannot say I perceived any particular attachment to or connection with those reasons. The committee will have to assess the voting themselves on this matter.
