I thank all Deputies who supported me in this. I forgot at the beginning to thank the Green Party in particular for signing the Bill and supporting it. My comrades beside me have done a great job. That is why they are my comrades, as they do a great job in being logical, unlike some of what I heard tonight. None of the other Deputies really addressed the issue. Why do we have a 14-year sentence for women and the Minister, Deputy Simon Harris, has told me that is the best they could do when they brought in the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill? Is that the best he could do? Please give me a break.
