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

Róisín Shortall (SD), Dublin North-West

I can assist the Minister as I see the reference now. Section 21(1)(b) states: "the removal of the organ for the purpose of transplantation is solely for the therapeutic benefit of the recipient and there is no other alternative therapeutic method of comparable effectiveness". It seems that this provision envisages only a one-to-one donation. That is my reading of the wording.
