Dear Linda and collogues ;

Thank you for remembering me. I would love to attend your conference and hear about the important changes in the Irish Abortion law. However teaching in Tel-Aviv it is too short of a notice for me, but would appreciate getting  the lecture and the discussion as preparation for our own discussion in Parliament.

 

Yours

And good luck
