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

It is not agreed. Our party Whip has written to the Ceann Comhairle to request that additional time be made available this week, with perhaps a late sitting on Thursday and a sitting on Friday, to discuss the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill. Since the referendum, 1,500 women have travelled for terminations. It behoves us to treat this issue with the urgency that the referendum result demands. We ask that additional sittings be provided and that the Business Committee be reconvened to discuss that proposal.
