I want to ask about the cost to the HSE or State in general arising from legal and medical fees in the tragic case of a clinically dead pregnant woman who was kept on life support for 23 days against the wishes of her family and next of kin. What has been the cost of this horrific case arising from the eighth amendment and involving the taking of unwanted intervention at a time when a health crisis was escalating in the State?
