Removing the three day, the mandatory three day wait does not mean that women won't be able to wait three days.

That doesn't mean that will change and they could wait a week.

They could wait.

The point is... If they're within the 12 week limit.

Of course, yeah.

If the timeline allows for it, that can still happen.

And you're asking the woman and her doctor at the time to say, decide between the two of them how long they wait instead of the state saying, this is the amount of time we're telling you you have to wait.

It's a good question.

I suppose it depends how many amendments or how many, I suppose, collaboration can be found on the bill.

You know, this has come as an issue out of nowhere.

You know, it is a really interesting political move by Sinn Féin to put this on the agenda when they did.

It has put some sort of pressure on the government, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, you know, to different degrees.

But it has also kind of manoeuvred them as a more left-wing party in the wake of the by-election.

It manoeuvres another opposition party who were critical of Sinn Féin in the wake of the by-election.

So it is a very interesting political move by Sinn Féin.

And as Mary said, this will become an issue almost out of nowhere, once again, for the parties on what they stand for or where exactly the line is for them on how willing they are to change the 2018 legislation.

And now you're talking about this is a good idea.

And I'm just asking you when it will come into place.

Well, this was announced as part of the budget.

And then I remember James Brown came out the week after the budget and said that they were declaring a war on dereliction and and that it would come in this sort of form.
