I will be brief, because we discussed this in some detail last night. Deputy Ó Cuív's question is not relevant because there is no right of refusal. In earlier debates we discussed the right of an individual to have a conscientious objection, which we fully acknowledge, as per the Medical Council guidelines. No such right is afforded to an institution.
