I thank Ms McDermott for attending. To join with Deputy O'Sullivan, I am disgusted to hear that Ms McDermott was treated that way in a hospital. It is not okay. There should be proper care, counselling and support for every family in that situation. I hope that it is not a regular occurrence. It is good that we got to hear that side of things.

Could Ms McDermott tell us more about One Day More? When did she get involved in the organisation and how many others are involved? How many parents does it represent?
