The programme for Government states: "We will seek a mechanism to compensate those women who were excluded on age grounds alone from the Lourdes Hospital Redress Scheme", yet no apparent action has been taken on this matter. I have raised it before and others have also raised it with the Taoiseach. The last time I raised it, I asked the Taoiseach to take a personal interest in this to bring it to a speedy conclusion. I am asking him again today to give us an update on the matter. Will he give a commitment to bring the matter to a speedy conclusion for the women who are waiting on the sidelines in the hope that something will happen?
