Hepatitis C Compensation Tribunal (Amendment) Bill 2006: Committee and Remaining Stages.
2:00 pm
Tim O'Malley (Limerick East, Progressive Democrats)
It has always been the intention that legislation would be consistent across all of the legislative schemes, backing up supports to persons infected by hepatitis C and HIV from the administration of blood or blood products within the State. This section of the Bill emphasises the insurance scheme will be consistent with the other two schemes and I cannot therefore accept the amendment.
