Perhaps that is a matter to which we could give consideration in the context of the Standing Orders of the House. I intend to support Senator Healy Eames. I must inform the Minister of State that I received a detailed briefing from somebody in Trinity College - I will communicate the name to him privately - in respect of this matter, about which I am concerned. What Senator Healy Eames has stated is reasonable. I deplore the fact that during the hearings of the Joint Committee on Health and Children and on Committee Stage here appalling language was used about children being dismembered, etc. That was absolute rubbish. However, I agree with Senator Healy Eames in respect of the issue of pain.
