To clarify, there will be no votes on the order.

The committee is required to consider this but not to vote on it. I would like to make a point as Chair of the committee. It is always important to raise issues of human rights and abuse of human rights, and that got an airing here today, but I certainly would not conflate the two issues. What the Minister is doing is the right thing to do, and the committee, the Oireachtas and the country should be very proud that today we are conferring university status on the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, RCSI. I ask the Minister to respond to the comments.
