I want to ask Dr. Logue to retract the statement he made about adopted people coming up to murder their parents. It was a disgusting thing to say. That is not what mothers are afraid of. It is not what they want to protect themselves against. They do not want protection against their children murdering them. Dr. Logue should apologise for having made that comment and he should retract it. It is not the basis of what this legislation is about. It is about a balancing of rights and trying to look after the mothers this State abused for decades. It is also about giving effect to legislation to make sure the children this State ignored for decades get access to their records. It is crass and unfair that Dr. Logue would make that comment both about what mothers fear and about adopted people.
