Safe Access to Termination of Pregnancy Services Bill 2021: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-02-10
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

I appreciate everything that Senator Higgins has said. I acknowledge the fact that she is going to withdraw those amendments. That is absolutely fine. The points she makes are very important but under the Interpretation Act 1937 we are actually covered already in regard to that. To reiterate to the Minister in regard to amendment No. 2, we are pleased to see that moved but we are open to further discussion in regard to that issue, so that we can tease it out together and happily revisit it on Report Stage if necessary. We just need to move this process on.
