Hepatitis C Compensation Tribunal (Amendment) Bill 2006: Committee and Remaining Stages.
2:00 pm
Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)
I accept the Minister of State's response. However, I am always concerned about the inclusion of specific age limits in legislation. None of us knows when we will leave this life. A person eligible for this insurance scheme who lives to 100 years would be without coverage for 25 years. Perhaps the Minister of State will consider whether this should be amended in future.
