Lynn Ruane: Two of my amendments are to this section, namely, amendments Nos. 17 and 18. I welcome the few hours we spent with the Minister and doctors yesterday. This is one of the areas on which I have been persuaded a little, whereas I was not convinced by the argument against deleting the word "serious". It is important that these important points are not debated in rooms elsewhere. It is better...

Lynn Ruane: As a member of the committee, and although I respect Dr. Peter Boylan and should have gone back over his contributions at the committee hearings, I definitely feel there was enough medical advice given during the hearings by various medical practitioners that the word "serious" is not necessary and is, in fact, a problem. If the amendment is to be pressed, I will definitely be supporting it.

Lynn Ruane: We have tabled five amendments in this group which all relate to access to terminations in early pregnancy. My main concern is the three-day waiting period and the way in which pregnancies will be dated. Amendment No. 29 would allow the three-day wait to start from the moment a woman requests the appointment with the medical practitioner. Amendment No. 31 would allow for the three-day...

Lynn Ruane: On a point of order, we are now speaking to an amendment that arose in the Dáil. This is a change that took place in the Dáil. We are not speaking to my amendments or Senator Norris's amendment. It is not fair to backtrack and retrospectively have a debate about something that happened in the Dáil. It is not happening here.
- Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Dec 2018)
Lynn Ruane: No, sorry, it is not a wide open debate on a three-day period. These are specific amendments. We cannot just say "three-day period". We could be discussing anything.
