Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses. Before asking questions, I very much welcome Deputy O'Connell's suggestion regarding a team of sexologists. I would like to attend any such meeting, as I expect all members would. With regard to the five-day waiting period, is it the case that a woman is not required to visit a doctor beforehand and may express a wish to have an abortion by email and visit the doctor...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Obstetric Medicine in the Netherlands: Professor Sjef Gevers and Professor Eva Pajkrt, University of Amsterdam (23 Nov 2017)

Obviously, the decision is made significantly more difficult for women in some countries. Is it mandatory to offer women counselling? Do women have to seek counselling and, if so, is it available?

Louise O'Reilly: I refer to a number of points raised earlier and I am sorry the person who made them is no longer here. With regard to the directive that would be issued or the information that would be given when a woman may wish to date the pregnancy and to avail of a scan, a suggestion was made that the woman would not be able to look at the scan. I presume women can ask to see the scan. I am giving...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Business of Joint Committee (22 Nov 2017)

Louise O'Reilly: There has been a deliberate attempt by members of the committee, who know very well who they are, to undermine its work. Much of it is pathetic. We issued invitations to people but perhaps they feel the weight of their argument is not sufficient or they feel unable to articulate it. There were some fairly eminent people on the list who pulled out who I know are more than capable of holding...
