Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank Deputy Murnane O'Connor for raising a very important issue. I understand the concern of parents and the need for recognition of Irish citizens born through surrogacy and the rights of parents in that situation. Legislation is being developed by the Minister for Health to come before the House and it will be published shortly. The special Oireachtas committee will be established with the objective of the topic being debated by all Members of the Houses to try to arrive at a consensus and conclusion on it.
