...experience as a junior doctor of a woman who died during pregnancy because she had a conscientious objection to termination of pregnancy.

Anne Ferris: I very much welcome the establishment of a commission of investigation. I agree with the concept of the two-step approach proposed by the Minister. Putting time and thought into the creation of broad terms of reference for the inquiry represents an essential preliminary step. It is not possible for the inquiry to examine mother and baby homes in isolation. These institutions were but...

Eamon Scanlon: ...but I did not want to let amendment No. 37 pass without speaking on it. It is a very reasonable request that the Minister should consider pain relief in this case, given that we are referring to babies over 20 weeks. When one considers that a baby is viable at 22 weeks it is imperative that the baby is given pain relief. There is no point in having the baby suffer needlessly. I am sure...

It is approximately one year since Ms Catherine Corless brought to the attention of...
