How does the Tánaiste and the Government see a vote in favour of the funding of this research as not totally at odds with the spirit of our Constitution, which specifically recognises the right to life of the unborn? Surely now is the time for the Government to take a principled stand on this issue and give moral leadership. What about the principle of collective Cabinet decision making? Will the Tánaiste's vote on behalf of Ireland at the Council of Ministers on 27 November be her own or, as would be considered more correct, will it be subject to the approval of the Cabinet? Nothing should be done which would impair our constitutional position. I again call for a Green Paper on the issue and a full debate in both Houses of the Oireachtas.
