The Bon Secours hospitals are the biggest private health provider in this country. They have an accumulated profit of €74 million and have on their hands the bones of the dead children of Tuam. If we are serious about putting behind us the legacy of what happened in the mother and baby homes, the very least we should ask this order to do is disband and write itself out of the history books of this country. We also have the continued abuse of women because of our abortion laws, and Vera Twomey is outside Leinster House now with Deputy Gino Kenny seeking access to health care for her very sick child. The abuse of women and children has not stopped and has been outlined time and time again in this Dáil.

Is the Taoiseach aware the church has offered to pay back €480 million because of the scandals? It has actually paid back €211 million and the State has paid €1.4 billion. When will the church, with all its lucrative lands and wealth, be made to pay back? When will we get it out of our lives, out of our beds, out of our hospitals and out of our schools? The way to do that is to start by calling on the Bon Secours to disband, to pay for a memorial as a fitting tribute to those children and their families and to pay for the High Court cases of the likes of Peter Mulryan, who has had to go to the High Court to find out what happened to his sister.

The House debated and considered this previously. We set up a commission of investigation. It has a function. It has not completed its work by any means. It has uncovered and located substantial numbers of babies and young children in this particular location and there are others. The commission will make its formal findings and they will be brought back here and the Oireachtas will reflect on that.

The Deputy mentioned Ms Twomey, who is meeting the Minister for Health today for the fifth time. The Minister has made it very clear that in respect of medicinal cannabis for the treatment of patients or people who might have recourse to it, it requires the authorisation of a prescription. While an application for prescription is being made here, that is not to be taken as authorising a prescription. He gave the details of that last week. He is talking again to Vera and her family. I met her myself in Cork just a fortnight ago. The paediatric neurologist is required to make an adjudication here. I am not putting pressure on the medical profession. There is a process there. The Minister has already arranged a meeting of the committee under Deputy Harty to discuss this matter today. I think it is probably over by now. He is meeting with Ms Vera Twomey-----
