Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination and Public Display) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-08
============================================================

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

I move amendment No. 6:
In page 24, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following:
“Review of operation of Relevant Organ Donation Opt-Out Register
17. (1) The Minister shall, not later than 3 years after the commencement of this section, carry out a review of the operation of the Relevant Organ Donation Opt-Out Register.
(2) In carrying out a review under subsection (1) , the Minister may consult with such and so many persons and he or she considers appropriate.”.
We are inserting a new section 17 which will provide for a review to be carried out examining the impact of the opt-out register on organ donation and transplantation in Ireland, three years after commencement of Part 2 of the Bill. This is an amendment I have added on Report Stage after a meeting with the Irish Kidney Association. I believe there are representatives of the Irish Kidney Association present and I will take the opportunity to acknowledge the extraordinary work it does. This amendment comes specifically from a meeting I had with representatives of the association recently, so we will review the operation of the opt-out register.
