- Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (13 Dec 2018)
Lynn Ruane: I will speak to all the amendments together. They deal with decriminalisation, and the fact that the criminalisation of doctors and those who assist women has been retained in the Bill, and is straight out of the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act.

Lynn Ruane: No, only a few lines. It continues:In a recent report on homelessness, three families surveyed said that they are waking their children up at half past five in the morning just to ensure access to a communal bathroom and allow enough time to get to school.
