Stem Cell Research: Statements.
The Constitution will not be found to be in favour of the funding proposal. Neither is the Irish Medical Council or the Oireachtas joint committee. The majority of Members in this House are also not in favour. We live in a representative democracy. Clearly, the will of the people is not to support funding anywhere for embryonic stem cell research. I ask the Minister to take this on board and to remember her own words on the need for more democracy and accountability from the EU. We must reflect the viewpoints of the Irish people on this matter.
