Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Donnelly for his constructive engagement on this. I know that not everyone will speak on every amendment.

The transcript will show that he told the House that I did not bring anything forward in the Bill. I might not have agreed with him on every aspect of it, but it is okay in a democracy not to agree with him on every single thing. It...

Simon Harris: That is fine, but, as the Deputy stated, there are people watching this debate and he has put forward a viewpoint that I wish to correct.

I said I would come back to it in the autumn because the Deputies were right on it. Deputy Kelly made a valid point...

- CervicalCheck Tribunal Bill 2019: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (10 Jul 2019)
Simon Harris: As the Deputy is not going to agree with my answer, I am not speaking to him. I am speaking to the women watching this debate and giving them their answer as Minister for Health as to why I believe the issue of a recurrence can be dealt with. They are entitled to hear it. The second point is that we must be honest with people that this is a voluntary process, not one which is about the...

Simon Harris: I thank Deputies Donnelly and Bríd Smith. Deputy Kelly also tabled an amendment on this. Deputy Donnelly and I agree on this. We are trying to find a way - he is right that we originally set up a tribunal - to provide a route for compensation if adjudicated. To the 221 group we added the RCOG group. Deputy Donnelly is right that there is now a number of women, a number I expect to...

Simon Harris: I move amendment No. 6:In page 11, line 3, to delete “on,”, where it secondly occurs, and substitute “6 months from”. I do not feel the need to speak on this at length. It is an amendment that Deputy Kelly asked me to table, and I gave him a commitment that I would look at this. The Deputy basically asked that a six-month period be allowed. He referred to, I...
