603 Ms Fitzgerald asked the Minister for Health and Children if he has received the research report from Trinity College on the numbers of Irish women seeking abortions in England; the factors influencing their decisions; and if he will publish this research. [1995/98]
My Department has received a draft report on the research undertaken by the Department of Sociology, Trinity College Dublin. The report is complex and addresses the factors which contribute to unwanted pregnancy, the factors which lead some women to choose the option of abortion and those which lead other women to continue with their pregnancy. Some final editing work is currently being undertaken by the Trinity College research team and it is my intention to have the study published as soon as possible after this work has been completed.
