I welcome the witnesses and thank them for their enlightened contributions. I refer to the document from the Irish Catholic Bishops Conference, which states:
Does the conference ask that we hold a referendum in this regard?
The recent decision by Government to introduce legislation, with regulations, in line with the judgment of the Supreme Court in the X case has brought the future of this highly effective two-patient approach in to serious doubt. It is our view that this decision by the Government is medically unjustified, legally unnecessary and morally unsound.
