Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

This is legislation that I support strongly. I published it myself as Minister for Health and introduced it into the Seanad just over a year ago. I met with the Minister, Deputy Simon Harris, about it and other matters just last week. The Government is very keen to have this legislation enacted. It is not going to be possible to have it done before the recess, but it is intended to have it enacted through both the Dáil and Seanad in the next session.
