I will ask about practical action or what Ireland can do to stop this practice. There is a proposal to call on the UN to stop forced organ harvesting in China.

Later in the presentation it was mentioned that other countries had passed legislation. A handful of countries are represented here. How successful has legislation been in stopping organ harvesting? Can we learn lessons, particularly about weaknesses in the law? It has been mentioned that people have disappeared from the organ donation list. Has that situation formed part of the legislation or is it separate? The key component seems to be tracking people who travel abroad for the service.

The delegation mentioned the Chinese Government's stance and a Chinese Minister was quoted. Has China pulled back, to some extent, from blatant organ harvesting? Does the delegation believe that the way forward is to lobby different parliaments?
