Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Ms Scallon is most welcome to the House. Her constituency of Connacht-Ulster is vast and it is now proposed that it be extended from Clare to Donegal. How does she keep in touch with her constituents?

What are Ms Scallon's views on in vitro fertilisation? I am told the church is against it. I cannot understand this because in vitro fertilisation has brought such happiness to couples by enabling them to bring forth a baby after their having been childless for many years. It is one of the success stories of research that hitherto childless couples can have a baby of their own. Does Ms Scallon agree with the church's teaching on the matter?
