The only chance we have to speak on these is in the grouping. I have proposed amendment No. 88. I apologise to the Minister as I had to step out of the meeting for a few minutes. With regard to amendment No. 88, I am not sure if it is the same issue the Minister has just said to Deputy Shortall that he might be able to resolve. The current draft allows women to use these embryos in the event of the death of their partner but it does not allow men, regardless of whether it is a heterosexual or same-sex couple. Is that the same issue that was discussed to be looked at?
