I thank the Deputy. Given the complexity of the Bill and what we are trying to achieve, it is inevitable that some things will work well and some things will not work as well as we want them to work or there may be unforeseen circumstances, particularly some parts of this Bill like international surrogacy for which we believe Ireland will be the first country to legislate. Inevitably, there will be things that a future Government and Oireachtas will want to examine. Therefore, a review makes a lot of sense.

I agree with the timing stipulated in the amendment. I have asked my officials to check the exact wording of the amendment to see if it fits technically and they have told me that it does. Therefore, I am happy to accept the amendment.
