James Reilly: As Deputy Naughten said we are not very far away from the eleventh hour. With regard to his amendment No.118 I have received legal advice which confirms that from a legal standpoint the wording set out in the Bill allows a woman "and-or the person attending on her behalf". "And-or": that is the legal interpretation of the Bill. The Deputy's amendment is utterly unnecessary.
