Select Committee on Health: Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

David Cullinane: I would like clarification on something. From my memory of the briefing we had with the officials, we had some discussion on this and it was exactly as Deputy Shortall pointed out with regard to the status of the child from the point of birth to the granting of a parental order. My understanding of the briefing we got was that both the intending parents and the mother would be guardians...

Select Committee on Health: Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

David Cullinane: I thank the Minister for the confirmation of my understanding of the situation. Perhaps I could hear from one of the officials what the process is so that we are clear.

Built into the agreement, as the official...

Select Committee on Health: Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

I hope that challenges will be rare, but it is always the rare cases that become problems. It would prepare us for Report Stage if we had a much more detailed note on the time between birth and a...

Select Committee on Health: Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

David Cullinane: This is an important amendment because it sets out how the courts can determine the best interests of the child. We had a lengthy discussion on this and I am satisfied that the criteria outlined in the Bill and the amendment are the appropriate approach in terms of a direction to the courts, but Mr. Daniel Keating in my office – he is working through all of these amendments and how...

Paediatric Orthopaedic and Urology Services: Motion [Private Members] (20 Feb 2024)

There is huge pressure on Dublin Airport. We need a counterbalance...
