I thank the witnesses for their presentations. Based on the presentation and particularly Senator Power's contribution there seems to be a conflict between what is happening in Bahrain and the NUI's human rights principles. The NUI cannot set out these principles and continue to bury its head in the sand regarding the situation in Bahrain. The RCSI website does not mention the situation in Bahrain at all except for a letter from Professor Kelly in 2011. If the NUI holds the promotion of human rights as a priority, the situation should appear more prominently on its main website. Could that be reconsidered?
