Alan Kelly: We are trying to get through it anyway. I raise this on Committee Stage and, again, the Minister was to revert to me. It seems to me that something very strange is happening here. It is not for me to correct errors in something that is being drafted but the way the paragraph stands, it means that even a rejection of a tribunal award has to go to the High Court. To me, that does not read...

Alan Kelly: There are two parts to this. First, I would like to thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for trying to be fair to me. This is unprecedented. I have been hanging around this place for 13 years and I have never seen this before. Deputy Brendan Howlin, who is one of the longest-serving Members and who served as Leas-Cheann Comhairle for five years, has never seen this before. I tabled an...

Alan Kelly: I brought this up and asked for a solution. The Minister made some comments with which I had no issue, but he never ever addressed the matter. He did not bring forward an amendment or any other measure relating to this Bill. The reason this amendment should have been allowed is that women who have been affected should have the right to pursue compensation if cancer returns. Unfortunately,...
- CervicalCheck Tribunal Bill 2019: Report Stage (10 Jul 2019)
Alan Kelly: I thank the Minister for taking on board what I said. This is a critical issue.

In fairness to the Minister, on this issue, if this issue alone, he has listened to us. Otherwise, we would have been left in a scenario in which some women could...
