- Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 Nov 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: I do indeed. My amendment No. 157 refers to the issue of conscientious objection. I believe that we already have comprehensive provision made for any person who wishes to conscientiously object. I do not hold with the notion that the provision of this specific form of healthcare for women should cause a whole additional layer. Notwithstanding that, we believe it needs to be codified that...

Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 176:In page 5, lines 5 to 11, to delete all words from and including “An” in line 5, down to and including “Act 1997;” in line 11 and substitute the following:“An Act to ensure that pregnant women may have equitable access to abortion care in a safe and timely manner, and at no cost, and for that purpose to amend the Health Act 1970 and...
- Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 Nov 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: This is about the process and follow-up. One of our amendments was about extending access to women from the North. I understand that it may not be possible to do this in the legislation but I want to confirm that the issue will form part of our discussions.

- Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 1:In page 5, lines 19 and 20, to delete "Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018" and substitute "Health (Access to Healthcare by Women Seeking Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018". We are of the view that the Long Title does not adequately reflect the overall purpose of the Bill. More importantly, it does not reflect the importance of the referendum...
- Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: I fully appreciate the point the Minister is making regarding the inclusion of the word "abortion". It was not on the ballot paper and that is fine. However, the use of language regarding termination of pregnancy in amendment No. 1 is continued, with the addition of the word "access". I am struggling to understand why access cannot be part of it. I accept the Minister's arguments - I do...
- Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: Given the conversation we have had, I am happy to not move it at this time but may do so later as we feel very strongly about the inclusion of the word "access". It is something that we can work on in the time between now and Report Stage.
- Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: There is a danger that when we come to vote on the amendments and we are told that they have already been discussed, it will be stated they were not discussed because the grouping is quite broad.
- Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: I second what Deputy Donnelly has said about going into private session to pick out the amendments that are related. Many of them can be grouped together, but there are a few that cannot. We are in the hands of the Chairman, but it might be the sensible thing to do. Otherwise this will be a very wide-ranging discussion.
- Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 4:In page 6, line 5, after “register” to insert “and such other healthcare practitioners as may be defined by the Minister from time to time”. I will not speak for other Deputies, but my reason for tabling the amendment is to make provision to allow a future Minister for Health to expand the cohort of healthcare practitioners who may provide...
- Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: Midwives for Choice and the Midwives Association of Ireland have made very comprehensive submissions on the matter which members may benefit from reading thoroughly. It was suggested that enabling nurses and midwives to do what many of them are trained to do, which is to prescribe, would somehow be dangerous. I do not agree. Although I do not want to put words in his mouth, I assume that...
- Select Committee on Health: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2018)
Louise O'Reilly: Based on the Minister's comments and in light of the fact that he will consider the submissions from Midwives for Choice and the Midwives Association of Ireland, I will withdraw the amendment while reserving the right to re-table it. To be clear, the intention was to future-proof the legislation by having the capacity to expand the service after day one. The gulf between us is not massive...
