I thank Professor O’Mahony for his statement because, as my colleagues have said, this morning was disheartening. Professor O’Mahony has come in here with a clear and comprehensive view of what we must do. It is unfortunate to see sometimes, one would feel, the arms of the State going against doing what has to be done. Just because it is difficult does not mean we cannot do it. I thank Professor O’Mahony for his work. I do not really have any questions because I think it has been very explicit. I suppose the crux of what Professor O’Mahony is saying is that we cannot miss this opportunity to ensure international surrogacy is included in the work we do.
