I thank the witnesses for their time. It seems they have effectively dismissed the Supreme Court judgment, both referendums, the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights, the expert group's findings, the master of the Rotunda and the bona fides of psychiatrists, and they appear to want to believe that the clarity we have is sufficient and that legislation is not required. Perhaps it is Ms Breda O'Brien's version of life, which I found quite a shocking statement, that, "it is not the baby that ruins one's life, it is everybody else". Do any of them call themselves democrats?
