Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister of State and my colleagues on all sides of the House for passing this important Bill, which brings into focus the need for people in the medical field to pursue careers in geriatric medicine and geriatric nursing. That people are living longer is to be welcomed. A related debate focuses on what role people in their winter years can play in society. In many respects, they are an under-used resource, which is regrettable.

I will not delay. References pertaining to further legislation are welcome. Everything going well after the big day, I trust that we, like democrats, will be back here agreeing to differ on these points instead of arguing on them.
