I thank the witnesses for their attendance. It is an interesting topic. I will start with the representatives from the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission. They are definitive and believe it should not be deleted but rather amended. The National Women's Council has a slightly different view as of yet. On what the commission has suggested should be put into the Constitution, does the commission argue that it should be amended to include a socioeconomic right that would give an individual an entitlement to take the State to court if it did not provide financial support for that person?
