Lack of enthusiasm blocked report on law

FORMER Minister for Health, Micheál Martin forwarded the Commission on Assisted Human Reproduction (CAHR) report to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children four years ago but its members failed to ever publish a report on proposed legislation.

Former member of the committee, Senator Mary Henry last night told the Irish Examiner there was “no enthusiasm” among committee members to endorse the CAHR recommendations.

She said that both she and former PD TD Fiona O’Malley thought they “should be recommended” and that former committee chairman, John Moloney did not object either.
