Hepatitis C Compensation Tribunal (Amendment) Bill 2006: Second Stage.
8:00 pm
Brendan Ryan (Labour)
Although I do not want to draw Senator Browne into one of my rows with anybody, the first issue that intrigues me is the incapacity of the Department of Health and Children to produce legislation that does not cause problems. Senator Browne and I struggled with a particular piece of legislation here less than six months ago. In its original form it was incomprehensible and when the amendments were added it became even more so. I cannot remember whether it was called the Misuse of Drugs (Amendment) Act or the Irish Medicines Board (Amendment) Act because it included amendments to both Acts.
