Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (Resumed)
12:20 pm
James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I do not want to add anything as it will not change anything. However, I do not want the Senator to be misinformed or under any illusion. The draft regulations relate to forms, etc., not the clinical guidelines, which must be agreed by the colleges. I will not be enacting the legislation until the clinical guidelines are put in place. I must qualify that by saying I cannot be held to ransom by any institute or college that refuses to agree guidelines. That will not happen either.
