Ms Pauline O'Reilly:

We have asked which of the three options was favoured and amendment was the preferred option of almost all our respondents.

I said we needed an amendment, but having heard Mrs. Justice McGuinness, perhaps it is more correct to say "replacement", so that we are not talking about fiddling around with words but about taking something out and putting something in to replace it in the one go. We have not asked and it is not my place to guess the views are of the general population who were inside and outside. However, we know that those who have cared for children are not confined to my generation; they come from older and younger generations. Those who have been cared for probably include many people in this room. It goes beyond our members in many ways. We will all have to guess. When Deputy Chambers was outside the room, I set out that it is a visceral experience if one goes in. One is being asked to weigh up one's values and the two values are important.
