Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2024-06-20
============================================================

Rónán Mullen (IND), National University of Ireland

It is precisely on this point. I ask the Minister to give me something better than his glib response that he sees no reason to confine this to EU citizens. It is the least he can do if he wants to pretend, however weakly, that he is not smiling on and counting on the exploitation of poor women by those who are in a financially advantageous position over them. That is the reason for this amendment. It is an evidence-based proposal. Those who are concerned by surrogacy, not to say those who have been hurt by it, are entitled to a better answer than what has been given.
