Alan Kelly (LAB), Tipperary

As the Taoiseach knows, we have worked thoroughly on this Bill and in fairness to the Minister, he has come a long way with us. I admired what he did before Christmas because he is one of few Ministers who has ever stopped legislation proceeding, saying we needed more time. He has made changes that I thoroughly respect. The Minister knows, however, that this amendment regarding the time at which women who are diagnosed with cancer are told about the patient safety review has to be instituted in law. Otherwise, the Bill will not pass the Vicky test and we will not be able to support it. I ask the Taoiseach to please give a week to put in the amendment to be able to achieve this.
