Dr. Feargal Twomey:

As in other sectors within the health service, there are different views on resistance. As we have stated very clearly and will continue to outline, we are not here to give an opinion or a stronger review. The Deputies and Senators present, as legislators and members of this committee, are probably as informed as anyone in the country on this because they have been listening to these hearings for nine months. Reading through all the submissions and watching all the recordings has shown me that the members have really done that. I do not envy their having to make a decision on this. It is hard to quantify what resistance there would be. Some people would be vehemently against the concept while others would welcome considering it. Others are not well enough informed to decide.
