- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Health Care Issues - Crisis Pregnancy Management: Ms Janice Donlon, HSE (15 Nov 2017)
Peter Fitzpatrick: I shall ask Ms Donlon the same question I asked of Dr. Henchion. Will Ms Donlon tell the committee what her organisation has done specifically to promote adoption as an alternative to abortion? How many conferences has it run? What percentage of her programme's tax funding goes on this area compared to how much it spends in researching and discussing abortion and the possibility of...

Peter Fitzpatrick: On page 2 of the presentation, it states that the programme funds 15 individual crisis pregnancy consultation services which operate at more than 40 locations nationally to provide free crisis pregnancy counselling. It is a very large catchment area. It also states on page 2 that, during a counselling session, a client may request information on the options available to her. What...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Health Care Issues - Crisis Pregnancy Management: Ms Janice Donlon, HSE (15 Nov 2017)
Peter Fitzpatrick: Are organisations providing enough information on adoption? One can find out about abortion clinics on the Internet and there are even abortion clinics which offer bonuses to their employees to get people to avail of abortions. Is enough being done with the HSE on the option of adoption in a crisis pregnancy?

Peter Fitzpatrick: Reading the presentation, it appeared to me that if a person seeks information from the programme and asks directly for a child to be adopted, she would be referred by the HSE to Tusla.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Health Care Issues - Crisis Pregnancy Management: Ms Janice Donlon, HSE (15 Nov 2017)

Peter Fitzpatrick: It is important that maternal deaths are fully investigated by way of a coroners inquest and that there is greater clarity and transparency in mandatory reporting of certain types of deaths. It will be an offence for a responsible person not to report a mandatory reportable death to the coroner. The Bill will also extend legal aid for certain inquests in civil law. This is a priority Bill....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Business of Joint Committee (22 Nov 2017)
Peter Fitzpatrick: I think the Chairman mentioned that our first witness, Dr. Patricia Lohr, was in a hurry to catch a flight. I am not trying to be smart but, to me, that is not a good start to the committee meeting today. How much time do we have to ask questions?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Business of Joint Committee (22 Nov 2017)
Peter Fitzpatrick: The reason I asked that question is because this witness has come all the way over here today and it is very important that we all get an opportunity to put questions to her.
