I second the amendment and seek clarification. When the amendment refers to Ireland, we want to be sure it means the island of Ireland. People living in Down and Armagh work for the HSE across the Border. The wording of the amendment concerns us but I would be happy if we get clarification from the proposer. I am also conscious that when we talk about Ireland in legislative terms, we must include the Republic of Ireland and the North of Ireland separately. I do not have a difficulty with the logic of the amendment.
