Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I assure the Taoiseach that Sinn Féin will co-operate fully with the Department of Health to ensure the legislation is processed as soon as possible. I reiterate my call to publish the full advice of the Attorney General. I do so because this is one of the recommendations that the Joint Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution did not endorse. The committee received its own legal advice which seems to be at odds with the advice available to the Government. All the information should be placed in the public domain. Deputies have called for a fact-based campaign and we have all stated we will rely on the facts. It is essential for transparency that Deputies have the advice of the Attorney General in full. It will enable us, when knocking on doors either separately, together or however it happens, to have the full facts and to explain to people who know they are about to make a momentous decision and want to be informed of all the facts.
