Seanad debates

What will be the Tánaiste's approach if those firms that are establishing operations in the biotechnology park in the west of Dublin city decide they wish to undertake stem cell research on human tissue? President Bush's distinct lack of enthusiasm for having that process take place in America is well known. What if the American firms decide they would prefer to ship it to Ireland? Will our response be the same as that outlined in the Tánaiste's speech yesterday? Will it be a matter of idealism or pragmatism? Will we have to accept whatever those firms will do here, even if it is against the moral thinking of most people in this country? I look forward to the Tánaiste's response in that eventuality.
