Ms Leah Hoctor:

As I made very clear in my opening remarks and as is very clear from the centre's website, the centre works to advocate for women's access to reproductive health care and reproductive rights and this includes access to safe and legal abortion care. The centre's work on the human rights committee cases means that the centre is obliged as the representative of Amanda Mellett and Siobhan Whelan, to advocate for the remedies which include law reform to be fulfilled by the Irish State. Any fundraising that the centre does for Europe for its work on Ireland has been for the cases. There is a line in the email that refers to the fact that the centre uses legal action in its work to advance women's reproductive health and rights. I was very honoured to be invited by the committee to present to it.
