I am pleased to inform the Deputy that my Department is refining policy proposals to regulate the area of Assisted Human Reproduction and related practices in Ireland. I will be examining the proposals with a view to submitting them to Government later this year. With regard to surrogacy, guidance notes are being prepared on an inter-departmental basis and are due to be published shortly.
