Disease Management
Dail Éireann — 2026-03-05
============================================================

Martin Daly (FF), Roscommon-Galway

I am taking this on behalf of Deputy Byrne but it is something close to my own heart as well. It is to ask the Minister about the Government's strategy to raise awareness of haemochromatosis.
Haemochromatosis is a disease that causes iron overload in the body. It is a genetically inherited disease. It is the most prevalent genetic disease in Ireland. One in 20 people will carry part of the gene and one fifth of those will develop full-blown iron overload.
