Dr. John Waterstone:

As part of the backup to the statement I made today there is a letter from the Irish Fertility Society which was sent to the Taoiseach, Deputy Varadkar, who was then the health Minister. It referred in particular to the Children and Family Relationships Act and our reservations about it. We also talked about our wish to be involved in a meaningful way in formulating the legislation and not just having to deal with it once it had been finalised. That is on record and the committee should be able to access it.
