Following the historic vote last night on the Bill to amend the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018 and the very welcome free vote allowed by the Government parties, it is reported that the Taoiseach has conceded this morning that the Bill may pass through the system much more quickly than the Government had planned. That is from the horse's mouth. Will the Minister confirm that the Government will support the expeditious proceeding of the Bill to Committee Stage, in line with the O'Shea report, which shows that more than 200 women and girls per year are being forced to travel for abortion care? Given this is a very time-sensitive issue, can he confirm that the expeditious proceeding of the Bill to Committee Stage will be allowed?

I absolutely recognise the result of last night's vote. As the Deputy knows, a review of the 2018 Act is under way and we await its findings. The Bill that passed last night will go to the health committee. It will be a matter for the committee to schedule Committee Stage hearings.
