An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-06
============================================================

Róisín Shortall (SD), Dublin North-West

I too want to raise the patient safety Bill. We have waited over six months for Government amendments. They were circulated and we received them on Friday morning. There are 42 pages of amendments from the Minister. There has been no briefing and no pre-legislative scrutiny, and the deadline was on Monday morning for amendments to those amendments.
That is an entirely unreasonable way of dealing with very important business. The Minister and the Government need to rethink this. It is not possible to deal with that level of serious amendments without any kind of briefing from the Minister or his Department.
