============================================================

Kieran O'Donnell (FG), Limerick City

I thank Senator Murphy O’Mahony for raising this important issue. I am taking this Commencement matter on behalf of the Minister for Health, Deputy Jennifer Carroll MacNeill.
Inflammatory bowel disease, IBD, is the name used for a group of disorders that cause inflammation of the intestine. It is a term used for conditions known as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and indeterminate colitis. I hope Jason is doing well. Is he still a member of the Senator's staff?
