Surrogacy in Ireland and in Irish and International Law: Discussion
Jennifer Murnane O'Connor (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I again thank Professor O'Mahony. I agree that numbers should never be an issue. One family is all it takes. We must be very mindful of that. For all of us who have been working with different families affected by surrogacy, it is important that there is better communication, particularly from the Department. I would love Professor O'Mahony to come back before us. We need to listen in respect of all the different issues that arise. I do not know if the timeframe we have will work for us because it is so short but we must ensure there is communication and that we all do what we can. This will be crucial and will affect families. We must do whatever we can to get it done as soon as possible.
