The Deputy may wish to note that I am obliged to prepare and lay before the Houses of the Oireachtas an annual report on the terminations of pregnancy that have taken place in accordance with the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act by 30 June this year. I will not be releasing any information on the operation of the Act before then. I am not aware of any inquiries or investigations currently taking place or under consideration arising from the operation of the Act.
