We need to know what is happening in Ireland. My colleague, Senator Gilroy, has said these methods are not in use here. I recall one of the experts advising us at the hearings that medical personnel will have to be trained. It is on the record of the hearings. One of the medical personnel advised us that training will be required. If this is being practised in a very limited and necessary fashion already, and women's lives are correctly being saved, why will further training be required? Those are not my words. Those are the words of a consultant as spoken during the hearings that were held in this Chamber. The person in question said that training in these procedures will be required. Could the Minister advise me of the type of methodology that requires such training, according to a consultant who sat on the seats opposite me at the committee hearings some months ago?
