Lynn Ruane: I will not take too much time. I want to outline a couple of things I may seek amendments on when the Bill gets to Committee Stage. Some of them are probably for this Bill and some not, but I would like the Minister to comment on how they fit into the Bill.

I remind everyone of the earlier conversations about the importance of decriminalisation in terms of not compounding all those other things that have been built on...

- Seanad: Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (26 Jun 2024)
Lynn Ruane: I did not intend to speak today, but listening to some of the comments has raised new queries for me that are related to the section, notwithstanding the piece around ensuring no one is on the sexual offences register, which to me seems obvious. I am concerned, regarding how the section is worded, where that leads if we are looking at what the regulatory authority actually looks at. Is it...

Those concerns are well founded and have been raised regularly by many...
