Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the witnesses for their presentation this afternoon. Before I start my questioning, I want to talk about human rights and the right to life. I am talking about the right to life of the child in the womb. Ms Logan has qualified something and seems to be putting more of a weighting on the existing life rather than pre-life. I am referring to where Ms Logan finished off on the last...

Page 10 of the IHREC document refers to the UN special rapporteur referring to health, rape and fatal foetal impairment. Does Professor Mullally believe that the IHREC is in compliance? If so,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: I assume the witnesses were watching last week and read the transcript of the meeting. Mary O'Toole, a senior counsel, said that most of the cases that come before her related to children. She specifically referenced children in care. To me, nothing is going to change for them, the simple reason being that they will still have to come before the courts for a decision to be made on access...

Anne Rabbitte: I wish to state, and should have done so earlier, that the speakers this afternoon have been very informative and that is very much appreciated.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: No problem. That is fantastic. One of the reasons I asked that question relates to children in care. Last week, Ms Mary O'Toole, senior counsel, appeared before the committee. She clearly said that a lot of the cases that come before the courts relate to children in care. That is the reason I ask the question about the gestational period because sometimes it might not be possible to work...
