Endometriosis Care in Ireland: Motion [Private Members] (15 Jul 2025)

Marie Sherlock: I sincerely thank Sinn Féin for this detailed motion. When you look at the detail and the very specific calls that are in this motion, it behoves us all to look at how women, and particularly teenage girls and young women, are being absolutely failed in this country.
