It is welcome that, under the women's health task force, endometriosis will be reviewed and so forth. I think, however, that most women looking at this debate tonight will ask why it has taken so long to address this issue. There is a paternal narrative in healthcare and over the past two or three years, in particular, we have seen women being let down completely, not only by the health system but by society as a whole. If we can do anything as legislators or Teachtaí and hold out solidarity to our sisters today, it is to state that we will do as much as we can to try to put this on the national agenda.
