Health (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-12-03
============================================================

Lorraine Clifford-Lee (FF), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I said that difficulties had arisen for people. I have spoken to people who have experienced difficulties, but that does not relate to this legislation. The Minister was very clear on that. We have a Minister for Health who is very committed to women's healthcare and reproductive health in this State. An unprecedented amount of money has been invested in women's health. It should not be thought that the Minister is not alive to the situation faced by people. This legislation and the Minister's comments last night were very clear. Women who have travelled abroad for a termination that is imperative, unavoidable and time-sensitive will not be required to hotel quarantine. I am just restating what was stated last night for the purposes of clarity. I take offence at the language that has been used and shouted across the Chamber at me.
