Seanad Éireann — 2026-06-25
============================================================

Robbie Gallagher (FF), Labour Panel

I echo the comments of the Minister in his summing up and thank all the Senators for their contributions, which have been constructive and thought-provoking. All the amendments have been given serious consideration by the Minister.
I thank and acknowledge Mr. Jason Poole for his contribution to this legislation. His family have been on a very difficult journey. The advocacy of Mr. Poole to get this legislation, Jennie's law, brought in has to be acknowledged and I commend him on it.
I commend the Minister on his initiative and his speed in bringing forward this legislation.
It will be a very important step for people to know that there is a register they can access if they have any concerns or doubts. I thank everybody involved.
