Lucinda Creighton (Dublin South East, Fine Gael)

I wish to ask the Taoiseach about legislation in section C of the legislative programme, the human tissue Bill. Will this proposed legislation incorporate the main thrust of a Private Members' Bill that came before the Seanad, the Human Body Organs and Human Tissue Bill? It is a question of life-saving measures and the issue of whether the presumed consent regime would apply to organ donation. There is a severe shortage of organs available to people who are critically ill.
