I commend the Minister on the introduction of this Bill, which I support. It was originally proposed by the former Deputy, Clare Daly, MEP. As my colleague, Senator Higgins, has pointed out, this legislation is an important piece of the maternal healthcare jigsaw. We are playing catch-up and we need to play catch-up very rapidly. This is a very important step for Irish women. I am glad to see this Bill being passed by the Seanad today.
