I wish to follow up on the issue raised by Ms Gildernew. She raised the issue previously of adoption for women who have been in prison and we do not seem to have followed up on it. Why can we not take it up and do something about it? Martina Anderson can be an MEP but she cannot adopt a child. For God’s sake. I am sure you remember, Chairman, that we had such a discussion a year and a half ago.
