I would be grateful if the Minister of State would rehearse for us what I believe has been supplied to some extent and given that we have been reassured that it is going to be just business as usual. What can she tell us about the involvement of psychiatry in the ending of pregnancies either in Britain or elsewhere but where the mother and child are Irish? What has the HSE's role been in such a case? How often has it happened? Has psychiatry or the State played a role in procuring abortions either here or elsewhere? How often has it happened? Did it happen on foot of cases that were deemed to meet the X case test? Was it a case of the State acting in loco parentis and choosing to exercise, as it were, a right to travel? I would be grateful if she would put on the record here what has happened, to date and how often, since the Supreme Court decision on the X case in 1992.
