I will speak briefly about the passing of the father of the Minister of State, Deputy Troy. I know it is a private time for his family. I was speaking to him earlier today and it would be remiss of me not to acknowledge it today. May the light of heaven shine on him.

I wish to speak on something that has been in practice in England for quite a while and has not happened here. This came up in a conversation with Councillor Paul Hogan in the last number of days. It is to be able to request a baby loss certificate. It has previously been talked about in this State but it has never happened. It is where people who lose a child during pregnancy up to 24 weeks can request a certificate in memory of their loss. A lot of families find it comforting to have an acknowledgement and some recognition of the unfortunate circumstances that have befallen them. Councillor Hogan mentioned that he knew some people in England who had got such certificates over the years and the comfort given to them through the general process of having a recognition from the state of their misfortune and the journey they had taken until that dark day. According to Councillor Hogan, it has certainly been of comfort to some people to receive such a certificate of acknowledgement. Maybe the Minister will come to the House and talk to us about it.
