Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution

International Legal and Services Context: Dr. Gilda Sedgh, Guttmacher Institute and Ms Leah Hoctor, Center for Reproductive Rights

Ms Leah Hoctor:

I think the centre's work in Ireland, representing Amanda Mellett and Siobhan Whelan, meant that I was not surprised. I think we also have very deep expertise in the area of European comparative law, as I have just presented; the evidence that I have provided is evidence based.
