I understand that and I agree with the Cathaoirleach. The Taoiseach's remarks at lunchtime indicating that he wishes for these services to commence on 1 January, as does the Minister, are in stark contrast to the remarks of the practitioners due to provide those services. Dr. Austin O'Kennedy, a renowned practitioner in County Donegal to whom I referred during Second Stage last Thursday, has outlined clearly that it would be highly absurd to proceed with this legislation with a 1 January window.
