Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Peter Boylan:
In summary, we are asked to believe the Vatican has approved the creation of a company that will permit the building of a hospital in which procedures directly contradictory to Catholic ethical teaching will take place. We have not seen any of the paperwork between Ireland, by which I mean the Sisters of Charity and the archbishops, and the Vatican. We need to see this before there is any further progress. If we see them we may well be highly reassured. This may be unique in the world where the Vatican has said to go ahead and build a hospital, that it does not care what is done in it and to do terminations-----
