I am saying this is clearly what flows and what has flowed from the contributions. In the contributions I have listened to I did not hear the nuance one would need to recognise that different people have different value systems and they ought to be entitled to be educated according to those value systems. I did not hear the Minister of State or any other contributor, with the exception of Senator Mooney, say that, although I will admit that I did not hear every contribution, although I heard many of them.

I support this Bill. I do not thank the Minister of State for it, but I thank the Constitution and the good sense of our courts. The Minister of State has been constrained to respect difference on this occasion by the provisions of the Irish Constitution but I hope-----
