Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
WHO Treaty on Pandemic Preparedness: Department of Health

On the agreement itself, the document states the Department is attending talks between 29 April and 10 May. Do amendments come up at that meeting within those talks? How does the Irish side feed into that? This is the first time, politically, that the health committee has engaged with this. What engagement has the Department had, aside from those who are attending? I am talking about the political system and health system in Ireland. How is the Department feeding into that? Are there rules that, for example, amendments have to be in before a certain time? Is the deadline the end of these talks? Can amendments go in after 10 May? How does that work? Will Mr. Hanly talk us through that? I am asking this for people at home who might be interested in this too.
