I too will speak generally on the group of amendments and then refer specifically to amendments Nos. 36, 39 and 43. Before doing so, I want to point out that this will be only time that I will be speaking this evening. I want to say that Sinn Féin, as a team, is very proud to support this legislation. We have worked constructively at all stages. I am very proud of the fact that every member of the Sinn Féin team has been present for every vote in the House today. Our record shows that we support the legislation but are trying to make it as progressive as possible. We are very proud to do so. Of course, we operate on a 32-county basis and we will ensure that we have equality of choice for women across this island.
