I am very happy to give that commitment to Deputy Bríd Smith. As I said to Deputy Catherine Murphy, institutions cannot have conscientious objection, and the law and the view of the Attorney General in this regard is very clear. One of the first tenets of lawmaking is that the expression of one thing is the exclusion of the other. There is absolutely no place in this law for institutions to have conscientious objection.
