Ms Siobhán Bourke:

I reiterate that this is a societal issue because two days after we published the report we got one in the post from the Law Society of Ireland called Dignity Matters. I do not know if its representatives appeared before a joint committees, but the report is basically a carbon copy. This is cross-societal. This is not just in this Department; it is in all Departments. We as a society need to take on some of these topics. It has to happen at that level and the training and conversation has to happen at that level as well. We need to all go out from here and find others to talk to about these issues.
