2:20 pm

My points shall be brief. I understand that we are discussing fatal foetal abnormality. It means a medical condition suffered by a foetus such that it is incompatible with life outside the womb. I am horrified by what I have heard from Senator Ó Domhnaill. He suggested that every parent who has a disabled child is subject to the amendment. That is low, below the belt, uncalled for and demeans the Chamber.
