Endometriosis Care in Ireland: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2025-07-15
============================================================

David Cullinane (SF), Waterford

I do not know any woman who would choose to go abroad for invasive treatment by choice. The reason they go abroad is that the specialist treatment the Minister spoke about simply does not exist. What we are calling for in our motion is a centre of excellence supported by regional centres where women can get gold standard treatment. Women travel because the gold standard is not available. The Minister was accused earlier of gaslighting women. I have to say I stand over that because that is how those women will feel.
