Seanad: Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (20 Jun 2024)

Mary Seery Kearney: There is a smoke-and-mirrors casting of the situation, as it is proposed in the Bill, going on. For future surrogacies, we will have a regulatory authority that will look at all of the circumstances and get increasingly better as it moves on through the years, which is what I used to think and say about it. The more experience that regulatory authority gets, the better it will get at...
