Fantastic. I thank our guests for their presentations. I apologise that I was not present for them, but I followed them on a monitor elsewhere.
The matter before the committee is a far-reaching item of proposed legislation which will have implications for Irish society into the future. I am delighted by Dr. Shannon's pronouncement to the effect that the right of identity is a key right. It would be good if that principle guided the legislation.
Dr. Wingfield alluded to anonymous donations and the fact that the institute had not yet taken a position in that regard. When does she expect that it will?
