I will make two absolute points. I thank Ms Gamble for her clarification that in the Indian example, the decision came from the Indian Government and was done in conjunction with a supreme court decision in India that it would not be a destination. That does not mean ethical surrogacies were not entered into in India and given that many children in Ireland were born via surrogacy in India, for anybody to make a sweeping statement about them or the country of India is either racist or going down a route of deliberately stigmatising children for some sort of political points scoring, which is obnoxious. I thank the witnesses.
