Senator Ó Domhnaill's question was not hypothetical but about the law and it is important to get an answer.
I shall follow on from what Senator Colm Burke has said. His interpretation of the law is that a pregnant woman, who is a visitor to this country, presents herself at a hospital requiring an abortion because she has suicidal intent, should be returned to her own jurisdiction. It is important to get that point clarified.
