Unlike Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin and similar to Deputy Catherine Byrne, as a gay man I cannot donate blood. I note the Minister's policy articulation and the work of Mr. Tiernan Brady from GLEN. I have met Professor Murphy with Mr. Brady on the MSM policy and same-sex couples being able to donate blood. Does Professor Staines have a comment to make on it?
