On the same issue, as a new Deputy and having heard the report of the UN committee today, will the Minister answer the question posed by Deputy Daly? I will not repeat the question but I will repeat what the UN's latest report has found, which is that Ireland's abortion ban subjects women to discriminatory, cruel and degrading treatment and it has called on Ireland to legalise the practices for pregnancies involving fatal foetal abnormalities. I listened to the Taoiseach last week misquote what has happened regarding various amendments to the Constitution.
