I have referred to vulnerable women who had made up their mind not to have an abortion, yet bonuses are paid to staff members who convince the women in question to change their mind. The centre must criticise such a practice. It cannot stand for it for one moment. To me, such a practice is totally and utterly wrong. Committee members have said women leave Ireland and spend a lot of money in travelling to the United Kingdom. However, staff members have been paid bonuses to encourage women to have an abortion.
