I welcome that if he has, but we do not have that information. The reputation of this House is being affected by that type of behaviour. To be fair to Senator Landy, he has gone a long way towards explaining it. He needs to go another little way and give us the truth on this.

I noticed an article in The Irish Times today which stated that women in Ireland face extra burdens going to the UK for abortions. That is true, because we are not addressing the real problems and pressures here. We are not finding out what would have helped them not to have made that decision. What shocked me is that at the bottom of the article, they presume that the only way forward for women in difficulty is abortion, and they provide a website, abortionsupport.org.uk.
