Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

In her original contribution Deputy Daly used the expression "never again". I understand where she is coming from in that regard but the sad truth is - this is the truth - it will never be possible to pass legislation that can prevent all tragedies related to pregnancy or abortion. Even if we had liberal legislation, like in the United States or the United Kingdom, for example, we would still have the dilemma of late-term pregnancies, that is, people who are 25, 26 or 27 weeks' pregnant seeking a termination. That happens. That dilemma occurs in the United Kingdom all the time.
