We have already voted on what the Citizens' Assembly voted on. We voted on no restriction as to reasons up to 12 weeks. That was passed. We voted on up to 22 weeks and that was defeated. The key thing for us now is that the Oireachtas has clarity on what we are saying. The decision has been very clear and the report needs to be that this committee is strongly in support of access to abortion with no restriction as to reason up to 12 weeks. We voted on that. The 22 weeks one has been defeated.
