Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)

——banging the drum on the other side of the House. At present, there are families who cannot afford to bring their children to the local GP because of the high cost. People on low incomes, as we have said in this House, must prioritise what money they have. I am happy to see that these proposals will allow them access to their GPs without worrying about costs.

I look forward to the Bill's next Stage and wish the Government and the Tánaiste well. I welcome the Travers report, which is extremely interesting for those of us who have taken the time to debate and read it today.
