Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick City, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I, too, very much welcome the opportunity that I had to serve as a member of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on the Eighth Amendment. It really was a privilege. I pay tribute, in particular, to the Chairman but also to all of its members, some of whom came on particular journeys. It was a very positive and enriching experience. I also thank the members of the Citizens' Assembly for the work they did, including the chairman, Ms Justice Laffoy. It was a particular privilege for me as one of those "auld wans" who campaigned back in 1983.
