Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I remind Deputy Daly that two lives are involved in each of these cases. She is well aware that each case involves the life of the mother and the life of the unborn. The process the Government is involved in, as it follows through on the expert report, clearly takes some little time. The information meetings held by an Oireachtas committee are feeding into the preparation of the heads of a Bill to deal with this matter in a sensitive, compassionate and understanding manner and in the right way. When the Government clears the heads of the Bill, it will send them to the committee for a full-scale debate so that this issue can be dealt with comprehensively and in the right way. This issue has divided Irish society on a number of occasions in the past 30 years. There are two lives involved here - the life of the mother and the life of the unborn. It is not a matter to be treated flippantly, glibly or with the kind of remarks made by Deputy Daly.
