I was pleased to receive the commission's report on 12 May 2005. As I indicated at that time, the Government has decided to refer the report to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children. This will allow for further public and political consideration of the complex issues involved. Following this process, the Government will, on the basis of the commission's report and the report of the Oireachtas committee, make decisions on the regulation of assisted human reproduction in Ireland.
