My next question may be for the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. When there is international surrogacy and a child comes to Ireland with his or her intended parents, what other rights of the child are being violated by not granting parentage on arrival in Ireland? How do we prioritise those rights as to what access the child has to a mother and a father, including the right to family life and all those other rights? How do we prioritise those rights when we do not have regulation in respect of international surrogacy?
