I do not intend to speak to my amendment similar to that of Senator Walsh on inheritable diseases as he addressed eloquently the same issues.

I ask the Minister to clarify. Is it the case that a person who is donor conceived might never discover that fact if he or she does not go looking for that information? If that scenario is possible, is it that their parents do not inform them? At what point would it emerge? Is it where they would go looking for their birth certificate? A person might not have reason to go looking for his or her birth certificate until he or she is 40 or 50 years. Would that be the case in such a given situation? Potentially, they would never discover the truth about themselves. Is that the position?
