Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution

International Context: Dr. Patricia Lohr, British Pregnancy Advisory Service

1:30 pm

Dr. Patricia Lohr:

We see far fewer women from countries other than Ireland. Most of the women we see who are travelling from abroad are from the Republic of Ireland, but we do see other women. Senator Gavan has not asked this question, but they come for similar reasons - abortion is restricted or perhaps the gestational age is restricted in the country from which they come.
