Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: Ms Liz McDermott, One Day More (22 Nov 2017)

Louise O'Reilly: The reason I ask is that some, though not all, of the stories, including Ms McDermott's, refer to very directive counselling, or whatever word one wants to call it. I have just two questions for her. First, will she bring us up to date on the experience her members have had in reporting this and how it was dealt with?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: Ms Liz McDermott, One Day More (22 Nov 2017)

Louise O'Reilly: Ms McDermott might have misunderstood my question. She is in touch with these people as part of her organisation's work. Will she relate to us their experiences when they reported the directive counselling, which is clearly outside of the legal framework within this jurisdiction? It was clear, when I read the stories, that people were telling Ms McDermott and the organisation that they...

Will the Minister give us a breakdown indicating where that funding will be spent? On the robust monitoring system that will be put in place, again, I go back to the stretched income targets. This is...
