Supports for Survivors of Residential Institutional Abuse Bill 2024: Report Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2025-06-25
============================================================

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

I welcome the Minister, Deputy McEntee, to the House.
Before we begin, I welcome, from the Western Carer's Association, guests of Deputy Keira Keogh here to the Gallery on both sides, including the Distinguished Visitors Gallery.
Also, from Westport, we have a new Senator, Farrah Hoban. Farrah is most welcome here to Seanad Éireann. I thank her for joining us in Seanad Éireann today. We are honoured to have her as a Member.
Also here in the Gallery, we have Mary Donovan, Mary Dunlevy Greene, Mary Smith, Miriam Moriarty Owens and, my good friend, Sheila O’Byrne, whom I know for many years or, I would say at this stage, decades. Sheila O'Byrne is most welcome and I thank her for being here.
Before we commence, I remind Members that a Senator may speak only once on Report Stage, except the proposer of an amendment who may reply to the discussion on it. On Report Stage, each non-Government amendment must be seconded.
Amendments Nos. 1 and 2 are related and may be discussed together by agreement. Is that agreed? Agreed.
