Rónán Mullen: I am coming to a conclusion but I am contextualising my question. I am the last speaker and I am not holding anyone else up. It appears to be the case that the figures are there yet Ms Zampas does not seem to be aware of them. Can she shed any light on that for me?

Rónán Mullen: I would also like to welcome the family connection in the Gallery. I second and thank Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill for what he said this morning. I met the very fine people that are in a group, Unbroken, this morning. All of them have a personal story to tell that connects in with the horror of rape and the very difficult subject of abortion. To think that people who generously give of...
