Health Strategies
Seanad Éireann — 2025-11-27
============================================================

Niamh Smyth (FF), Cavan-Monaghan

As I said, I will certainly reflect the Senator's thoughts and views to the Minister for Health. I will support her in any way I can. It is a common-sense approach to policy to protect the most vulnerable. As the Senator said, we have just four allergists for a population of our size. Unfortunately, this is on the increase. We know many people who are intolerant of various food products and ingredients, which can have fatal consequences, as the Senator outlined. I appreciate that the Senator is starting a campaign. I congratulate her on her audiovisual room presentation today. It had a powerful impact on everybody across the House who attended. As I said, I will reflect her views and thoughts to the Minister for Health after this debate.
