- Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 May 2024)
David Cullinane: I just want to make a number of remarks because this is a groundbreaking Bill. We have been through a very lengthy process and I genuinely do not believe that this Bill has been rushed or that we have done anything in haste. We have done our job very diligently. There was a lot of pre-legislative scrutiny. In fact, there was an Oireachtas committee that did a huge amount of work on this...
- Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 May 2024)
David Cullinane: I move amendment No. 52: In page 85, between lines 27 and 28, to insert the following: “(c) The giving by a medical practitioner of genuine medical advice.”.
- Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 May 2024)
David Cullinane: These amendments provide beyond reasonable doubt that a medical professional will not be criminalised for offering genuine medical advice.

My amendment No. 52 permits the courts to exercise reasonable discretion in determining this, and I think that is a better course of action. I understand the logic of amendment No. 51...

- Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 May 2024)
David Cullinane: We discussed this earlier, perhaps with officials or the Minister. When concerns were raised, that was the exact advice we got - that the Bill already deals with this. That there is now legal advice that says, hang on a second, we may well need to do something else, means we have to do it. All of those scenarios the Minister pointed out could happen. We always look at worst-case scenarios...
- Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 May 2024)
David Cullinane: I supported the retrospective parental recognition for the same reasons as the Minister and others did. It was because it was the right thing to do. I also support putting in place a new regime, a new set of regulations and a new process that allow for international surrogacy in a way that no other country has done. We are agreeing here. I have to put my cards on the table and say that we...
- Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 May 2024)
David Cullinane: This is complex legislation. This amended version of it is lengthy and covers many areas. I have in the past commended the Minister's officials on the work they have done. It has been phenomenal but we will get to that later as we conclude the Bill. In all the exchanges we had with the officials and the Minister on many issues, the Minister always said the best interests of the child have...
