Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Implementation of Government Decision Following Expert Group Report into Matters Relating to A, B and C v. Ireland (10 Jan 2013)

Regina Doherty: Dr. Seán Ó Domhnaill said when the law was passed in the UK, 95% of abortions arose from suicide intention. Does a patient or a pregnant woman in the UK who proposes to have an abortion have to go through a psychiatric assessment? If so, is Dr. Seán Ó Domhnaill suggesting that the psychiatrists that these women present to are being duped?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Implementation of Government Decision Following Expert Group Report into Matters Relating to A, B and C v. Ireland (10 Jan 2013)

Regina Doherty: My question refers specifically to the issue of suicide, bearing in mind that nobody to whom I have spoken and not one of the experts we have heard to date – Dr. Ó Domhnaill is the sixth psychiatrist to appear before us – has said abortion is a treatment for somebody who is presenting with suicidal ideation. Consider the options in the expert group's report as to how...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Implementation of Government Decision Following Expert Group Report into Matters Relating to A, B and C v. Ireland (10 Jan 2013)

Regina Doherty: Given that the church acknowledges that there should be intervention when there is a real and substantial threat to the life of the mother and that suicidal ideation or intent is acknowledged as a genuine substantial risk to the life of the mother, I am curious and I am looking for help and guidance on how the Catholic Church would advise us to deal with that scenario, given that the judgment...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Implementation of Government Decision Following Expert Group Report into Matters Relating to A, B and C v. Ireland (9 Jan 2013)

Regina Doherty: I thank both the expert witnesses for their informative submissions. The medics yesterday mentioned emergency situations where it is easy for them to react when there is a substantial risk to the life of a woman but in situations where the risk is not immediate, such as for cancer or cardiac patients, it is not clear and some of the medics suggested they are still sending those women to...

Regina Doherty: My question will follow on from Deputy Dowds's. Professor McAuliffe mentioned that, when the substantial threat or risk to the life of the mother was immediate, professionals knew exactly what to do, but that there was a grey area when the threat was not immediate. Professor McAuliffe stated that, in certain scenarios, she sent the latter category of women to another jurisdiction to be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Implementation of Government Decision Following Expert Group Report into Matters Relating to A, B and C v. Ireland (8 Jan 2013)

Regina Doherty: I thank our guests for coming before us. Professor O'Keane actually referred to the elephant in the room, namely, that suicide in pregnancy is very rare. However, this is not to state that it does not occur. We have not addressed the needs of all of those people to whom reference was made. It is ironic that we are here to discuss matters which arose as a result of the judgment handed down...

Regina Doherty: I thank the witnesses for their presentations.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Implementation of Government Decision Following Expert Group Report into Matters Relating to A, B and C v. Ireland (8 Jan 2013)

Regina Doherty: I thank the witnesses for attending. With regard to the threat of suicide, how many terminations due to the threat of suicide have actually been carried out in Ireland since the X case judgment?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Gardasil Vaccine (HPV) and Meningococcal Group B Vaccine: Discussion (20 Dec 2012)

Regina Doherty: I thank the witnesses for coming here today and for presenting to us. Notwithstanding the differences of opinion, I agree with my colleague who said that parents have a choice. It is incumbent on all of us as parents to ensure we are best informed before we make a choice. That is part of parenting. I do not blindly accept other people's opinions because opinions differ. Anyway, it is...
