I am trying to defend the integrity of the process of the Oireachtas committee system which works quite well. This committee works quite well. The point I am making is that there is a duty on those of us on all sides of the debate. I very much welcome that. This is a sensitive, complex matter; it is not black and white. Everybody should be in here debating and discussing it.

I thank Dr. Henchion and Mr. Behan for coming here this afternoon. I thank them for presentations and commend them on their work. I ask Dr. Henchion if it is fair to say that the values system and the mission statement of the Irish Family Planning Association, IFPA, is well known?
