The Tánaiste, Ms Harney, confirmed yesterday (Sunday, 23rd November) on an RTE interview that she would vote this week in Brussels in favour of a European Commission proposal to sanction research on adult and embryonic stem cells.
The policy was not "personal" to Ms Harney or confined to the PDs, she said. It came after a decision taken in consultation with her Cabinet colleagues, including the Taoiseach, the Minister for Health, Mr Martin, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr Cowen.
