As well as the figures the Taoiseach gave for the care provided, more than 700 women have had to travel abroad for care since the eight amendment was repealed. That is probably the biggest issue. One impediment - we hope the report will show this because there have been leaks to that effect - is the three-day wait. The Taoiseach has said he feels uncomfortable, as have others on that side of the House. I remind the Taoiseach that this is about women; it is not about how he or any Government Minister feels. I recall when it was repeatedly stated that we are all on a journey. I say to those who were slow to get on to begin the journey before the eighth amendment was repealed, to get on the bus. The journey is not over. There is unfinished business in respect of this matter. The review was about the lived experience of women, not something in my head or that of the Taoiseach.
