Thank you. I was thinking of Dr. Holohan, a former dean of professional competence and a current practising obstetrician in the Rotunda, who says "the medical needs of the mother do not require the removal of the Eighth Amendment". It is a really strong statement from somebody in her position, as she regrets that "there appears to be a campaign strategy" to suggest otherwise. That is very worrying. I heard Dr. Boylan was on, unopposed, with Pat Kenny on Newstalk yet again this morning. It is now a fact that there are approximately ten or 11 obstetricians in Cork who are asking Dr. Boylan to step aside from his role as chair in light of his campaigning.
