Seanad Éireann — 2026-03-25
============================================================

On a point of information, I wish to correct the record. I will not come back on everything the Minister has said. When I referred to deportations, it was not in the context of people who were not complying with deportation orders. I was referring to cases where the deportation may be scheduled for some date in the future. The justice committee heard evidence from healthcare providers about people arriving into pharmacies, etc., to receive to their medication. It is not that they have not complied; it is that there some people's access to medication has been stopped abruptly. I do not think that is the intention of the State; it is just a gap.
