Andrew Doyle (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

Unfortunately, the Minister for Health and Children is not present. I raise this matter on foot of further information given at this morning's health committee on the previously identified decision by the High Court on the need to introduce legislation to redress the legal lacunae that exist following the dissolution of the NRB on 12 June 2000. Given that the need to introduce such legislation has been identified and that it has been agreed to bring the matter before the committee again, will the Tánaiste and the Government at least accept to review this matter on an ongoing basis and to consider the need to introduce legislation on it?
