Phil Prendergast (Labour)

People express themselves in the best way they know how and sometimes frustration can lead them to couch their views in a certain way. It is our job not to take such comments personally. I can understand the why people might do that because I worked for many years in dealing with people who were infertile and undergoing the many treatments involved in that respect and it gave me an insight into what I could contribute to this debate. I am delighted and I thank the Minister for listening to us and taking part in the debate. I thank the officials, the Cathaoirleach and everybody connected with this.
