Yes. I ask that the Acting Leader arrange for the Minister for Health to come before the House. The Minister gave a commitment to Deputy Wallace in the Dáil - I accept that he has modified his language in the interim - in respect of what he intends to do with regard to abortion. This is a highly sensitive issue and it must be dealt with in a fair and reasonable way. Many Senators have called for a very measured approach to be taken by all sides in respect of this very emotive issue. Anything which might skew the position or set the inquiry up in a particular way beforehand is wrong.
