Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the witnesses for their presentation this afternoon. Before I start my questioning, I want to talk about human rights and the right to life. I am talking about the right to life of the child in the womb. Ms Logan has qualified something and seems to be putting more of a weighting on the existing life rather than pre-life. I am referring to where Ms Logan finished off on the last...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank Ms Logan. I just wanted clarification before I move on. Given that Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights states that everyone's right to life is protected by law, what rights does the unborn child have under the convention?

Anne Rabbitte: My next question is for Professor Mullally. The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission has said that access to abortion should primarily be a health care issue, and I totally agree with that. Page 10 of the IHREC document refers to the UN special rapporteur referring to health, rape and fatal foetal impairment. Does Professor Mullally believe that the IHREC is in compliance? If so,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: I assume the witnesses were watching last week and read the transcript of the meeting. Mary O'Toole, a senior counsel, said that most of the cases that come before her related to children. She specifically referenced children in care. To me, nothing is going to change for them, the simple reason being that they will still have to come before the courts for a decision to be made on access...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: I wish to state, and should have done so earlier, that the speakers this afternoon have been very informative and that is very much appreciated. I want to direct my question to Ms Zampas. She referred to the first trimester when we were discussing abortion. The Citizens' Assembly has discussed it and made a recommendation providing for the delivery of certainty. Ms Justice Laffoy, who...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (4 Oct 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: No problem. That is fantastic. One of the reasons I asked that question relates to children in care. Last week, Ms Mary O'Toole, senior counsel, appeared before the committee. She clearly said that a lot of the cases that come before the courts relate to children in care. That is the reason I ask the question about the gestational period because sometimes it might not be possible to work...
