- Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 May 2024)
Stephen Donnelly: I move amendment No. 11: In page 43, line 11, after “expenses” to insert “, and any net loss of income,”. On foot of amendments submitted by Deputies Shortall, Cullinane and Kenny on Committee Stage, I am introducing this amendment to speak to the issues they raised. Essentially this will bring in an allowance for net loss of income to be included as part...
- Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 May 2024)
David Cullinane: Again, I raised concerns on Committee Stage, and on Second Stage, that the net loss of income was not covered under reasonable expenses so the fact that the Minister has agreed to that and that the amendments reflect that and use the terminology that was recommended in the various amendments by Members of the Opposition is very helpful. I thank the Minister for that and I will be supporting...
- Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 May 2024)
Róisín Shortall: The Minister has taken a reasonable approach on this. I endorse the point made by Deputy Cullinane. Speed is fine if people are in a hurry to get something but speed in addressing legislation, and especially legislation as long and very complex as this Bill, very often results in our having to revisit the issue unless adequate time is given for consideration of the provisions. Therefore, I...

- Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 May 2024)
David Cullinane: The current draft of the Bill provides that children in very limited circumstances can participate in AHR, for example in egg donation, where a procedure or a progressive disorder - that is the terminology that was used in the original draft – is likely to cause infertility. As the Minister said, these amendments remove the references to "progressive disorder". I hear what the...
- Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 May 2024)
Róisín Shortall: I also raise concerns about these two amendments. AHR professionals have expressed serious concern about these two amendments and the removal of the term “progressive disorders” from the Bill. It is accepted that such conditions are rare. However, because of rapid advances in genetics and other fields, fertility preservation is possible. I have also been advised of several...

Stephen Donnelly: I move amendment No. 1: In page 14, line 9, to delete “228,” and substitute “228”. This group of 16 amendments is purely technical in nature and its acceptance would not have any policy implication for the Bill. The amendments variously seek to refine terminology, correct minor typographical and punctuation errors and update referencing.

Amendment No. 3 deletes a cross-reference to provisions later in the Bill in section 53(3) which relate to a surviving intending parent in a surrogacy agreement applying for a parental order as a...
