I move amendment No. 5:

In page 8, line 21, after “woman” to insert “where necessary, and consulted where possible”.

I will withdraw this amendment in support of amendment No. 4 which may be reintroduced on Report Stage. I urge the Minister to engage with amendment No. 4 which has the preponderance of support in the House. Elements of his response on the amendment addressed amendments which were proposed in the Dáil. The issue is an addition of consultation rather than a removal of examination. We should engage on that basis as we move to Report Stage.
