Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

A Bill was promised to amend the Hepatitis C Compensation Tribunal Acts 1997 and 2002 to establish an insurance scheme for persons infected with hepatitis C or HIV as a result of the State's role in the provision of blood or blood products. Only three weeks remain before Christmas. This was committed to be taken in this session in the most recent legislative programme. Will the Taoiseach confirm we will have the Hepatitis C and HIV Compensation Tribunal (Amendment) Bill prior to Christmas?
