Okay. I will put my question to Bishop Jones. Ireland is a Catholic country with, according to the last census, 84% of people professing to be Catholics. Can Bishop Jones confirm that what he is suggesting to us as legislators is that we listen and implement the Roman Catholic Church's ethical and moral teachings and that we apply them to our hospitals? If so, will he then explain, given the diversity of religious views and opinions we have heard today, how he would instruct Catholic legislators to deal with this issue?
