I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. To reiterate, I made my comments this morning with the people outside of this House who are genuinely wrestling with this issue in mind. Many in this House have also wrestled with it. I invite people to watch the powerful testimony of Pat and Mary Lyons on joe.ieabout their daughter's journey to Liverpool in the context of a diagnosis of fatal foetal abnormality and about the very difficult and unacceptable nature of that journey. They ask for women in such situations to be given a choice. That is what exercised many members of the committee, as did issues of fatal foetal abnormality, issues of rape and incest, the reality of the availability of the abortion pill up to ten weeks-----
