The only issue I would have concerns the adoption Bill. Will the Minister consider increasing from three to five years the period for young children who will not be in a position because of their age to give their consent to adoption? It may give people sufficient time to provide for their children.

While I accept there are additional protections afforded to children under this referendum, will they be extended to the unborn child? That has been raised with me by many people.
