Legislative Programme
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-20
============================================================

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor (FF), Carlow-Kilkenny

I welcome the news announced by the Minister. I was honoured to be on the Joint Committee on International Surrogacy. There was a lot of work involved and we heard many families speak about their children. I am delighted the Minister is now working with other Departments to get the legislation through as soon as possible. That is important and it is good news. I also welcome that publicly funded IVF treatment will be available for the first time for families who need it. It is important that the Minister has given us a date. I am delighted he has been working with other Departments to allow for clarity.
