Yes, but Dr. Boylan talked about the values of Mother Mary Aikenhead and not about Catholic doctrine. There is significant difference. I have no qualms about saying I would have come to this with the same queries as Dr. Boylan. I will return to where we began. He talked about red flags. I think a lot of those were answered yesterday. On women and women's voices, it is vital that they are heard. All we heard yesterday were women's voices, and powerful women's voices. The last three or four masters of Holles Street - obviously, the current one is a man - disagree with Dr. Boylan. Some 52 clinicians, of whom 18 are women, disagree as do the directors of midwifery in all 19 maternity units across the country, the senior midwives in the national maternity hospital. These are very powerful strong voices. What gives Dr. Boylan the belief that he has this right and everybody else has this wrong?
