577. To ask the Minister for Health in view of the fact that Judge Quirke was explicit in recommending that health care should apply to each of the women who were admitted to and worked in a designated Magdalene Laundry the way he envisages bringing this about so that women are entitled to health services equivalent to those provided with a HAA card; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Minister for Justice and Equality is bringing forward in one Bill, on behalf of the relevant Departments, measures to deal with the provision of medical and other services and other matters to women who were admitted to and worked in the Magdalen Laundries. I am currently examining the health related provisions for inclusion in the legislation and expect to revert shortly to my colleague, the Minister for Justice and Equality.
