Before I bring in Senator Swanick, I wish to put a number of questions to the witnesses. With regard to couples who are trying to conceive and have not been successful, what criteria do the witnesses use before they initiate the process of assisted human reproduction? What are the common types of assisted human reproduction in Ireland? Is it both parents contributing, or it is an egg and a non-parent sperm or a sperm and a non-parent egg? What are the proportions in that regard? Dr. Kennedy said he does 2,000 cycles a year.
