Go raibh maith agat. I will start with Dr. Ní Bhriain. For the purposes of clarity, she said the HSE does not have a policy position. I think we can all accept this because it would be a matter for government anyway. There is no government policy now. Dr. Ní Bhriain also said that there is no commissioned research, but that through the Health Research Board, if I understand her correctly, and maybe from her organisation's own analysis, other jurisdictions have been looked at. To ensure we are very clear, has the HSE looked at other jurisdictions specifically in relation to assisted dying?
