The Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022 passed Second Stage in the Dáil on March 23^rd2022 and has been referred to the Select Committee on Health for Third Stage. As the Deputy will appreciate, I am not in a position at this juncture to give a definitive timeline for the Bill’s complete passage through the Houses of the Oireachtas, nor its subsequent commencement. However, I am certainly most eager to see progress as quickly as possible in respect of this much-needed and long-awaited legislation, which is a priority for me and my Department, as well as representing a Programme for Government commitment.
