I know a lot of people have indicated but I will make a suggestion that might work. We could say, "The committee recommends in view of the complexities of legislating for a termination of pregnancy for reasons of rape and incest that it would be more appropriate to deal with this issue by making the termination of pregnancy lawful, with no restriction as to reason up to a gestation limit of up to 12 weeks through a GP-led service or delivered in a clinical context and determined by law and licensing practice in Ireland." Is that agreeable to members? I will come back to those who have indicated.
