Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

-----our commitment was to examine what needed to be done following the A, B and C case and the X case and we are delivering on that commitment. We need to get on with enacting this legislation and let it settle down. There are people outside this House, even some inside it, who are suggesting this will lead to abortion on demand or is the thin end of the wedge, or that this is a single-sided conscience issue. First, this is as restrictive as legislation could be, which I know is something to which some Members object, but the restrictions are required by the Supreme Court, no more, no less.
