Martin Conway (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am coming to it. I would like the Leader to tell the Chairman of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children that significant and serious discussion on the heads of this Bill will be necessary and that every Member should have an opportunity to listen to all information available and there should be no time restriction. Any competent professional body who wishes to make a submission to the committee should be facilitated. This meeting might run for longer than three days. This is an important issue and it needs to be dealt with urgently because there is so much public concern. We have a responsibility to try to move it on as quickly as possible to ensure people are adequately informed so that they can make appropriate decisions when necessary.
