I move amendment No. 56:

In page 16, between lines 16 and 17, to insert the following:“(5) Nothing in subsection (1)shall be construed as applying to an institution, hospital or medical facility.”.

I speak on behalf of all the signatories to this amendment. I am willing to withdraw it on the basis that the Minister is willing to reiterate the commitment he gave us on Committee Stage, and which I think he gave to Deputy Catherine Murphy earlier, that there will be no chance whatsoever that any institution, hospital or organisation, in particular the promised new maternity hospital, will have a right to conscientious objection.
