Health Bill 2008: Committee Stage
5:00 pm
Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)
I agree with Deputy Shatter that a court challenge to the provision of a medical card to a widow or widower is unlikely. That is not the issue. The concern is that a single person might initiate legal action to the effect that he or she is being discriminated against on grounds of receiving different treatment to that afforded to widows and widowers.
