Ivor Callely (Independent)

As we are at this stage of this Seanad, I ask the Leader if all-party agreement could be reached on two issues. The first concerns the patients of the former surgeon, Mr. Neary. Wrongdoing was clearly carried out but I understand a small number of people are not accommodated in the redress compensation scheme, some of whom are excluded on a technicality due to the lateness of the claim. I ask that there be all-party agreement that everyone who experienced wrongdoing under Mr. Neary's knife be accommodated.
