Jennifer Carroll MacNeill (FG), Dún Laoghaire

I thank the Deputy for sharing his own experience and perspective because that helps to tell the story of how common this is and what the impact is. We support the Irish Haemochromatosis Association and World Haemochromatosis Awareness Week, which takes place from 1 to 7 June every year. The association also runs the GP practice nurse training and education programme. To the extent we can do so, we will get behind that world awareness programme every year in the first week of June, a lovely week of the year, to drive awareness of haemochromatosis, and I am sure the Deputies will be at the forefront of that.
