Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (27 Apr 2022)

Róisín Shortall: I warmly welcome both groups here this morning. I thank them for their submissions and for their ongoing work over so many years.
