Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

To the best of my knowledge it did not happen in the Dáil either. That should encourage us because this was not the way it was when this issue was discussed in the past. I was not born in 1983 but I have been reading a lot about it lately. In the debate of that time the issue seems, bizarrely, to have been considered more of a justice than a health issue. In the transcript of the debates there is very little reference to the impact of the eighth amendment on the health care of women.
