Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I am concerned about Deputy Denis Naughten's proposal to delete the phrase "as far as practicable".

Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Health: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (2 Jul 2013)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Where the Bill provides for certain panels to be established in respect of certification appeals under sections 7 and 9, is it not the case that the panels could draw from a broader range of people based on the requirements that present in real terms?
