I move amendment No. 20:

In page 16, to delete lines 14 to 25 and substitute the following:

“ “relevant donation (E)” means, as appropriate—

(a) a donation of supernumerary embryos made in accordance with—

(i) section 29(1), or

(ii) the law of a jurisdiction other than the State,

for use in the provision of AHR treatment in accordance with this Act, or

(b) the supernumerary embryos the subject of such donation;

“relevant donation (ER)” means, as appropriate—

(a) a donation of supernumerary embryos made in accordance with—

(i) section 30, or

(ii) the law of a jurisdiction other than the State,

for use in the undertaking of ESC research in accordance with this Act, or

(b) the supernumerary embryos the subject of such donation;

“relevant donation (G)” means, as appropriate—

(a) a donation of gametes made in accordance with—

(i) section 26(1) or (2), or

(ii) the law of a jurisdiction other than the State,

for use in the provision of AHR treatment in accordance with this Act, or

(b) the gametes the subject of such donation;”.

This amends the definition of relevant donation of gametes and embryos to clarify that in relation to the use of donated material from outside the State it must be ensured that such donations were made in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction concerned.
