Mary Upton (Dublin South Central, Labour)

I wish to inquire about two items of legislation, the first of which is the Industrial Development (Science Foundation Ireland) (Amendment) Bill. Second, I welcome the decision on the cystic fibrosis project in St Vincent's Hospital and hope it takes place as promised. My query pertains to two areas that might fall within the ambit of the human tissue Bill, namely, organ transplantation, which also is of huge importance to cystic fibrosis patients, and stem cell research, about which a legislative vacuum exists in Ireland at present.
