Insurance (Disregard of Certain Medical History and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2026-06-17
============================================================

Cian O'Callaghan (SD), Dublin Bay North

I put on record the strong support of the Social Democrats for this Bill. I compliment the Minister of State, Deputy Ardagh, and all who have worked on this on a cross-party basis, including the Irish Cancer Society and the volunteers from that society. It is an excellent example of how this Oireachtas can and should work very effectively. We need to see more of this approach to legislation progressing not just from Cabinet but from backbenchers across the Oireachtas.
I support Deputy Nash's amendment. It is a very good effort to try to ensure there is not ambiguity in the Bill and he raises an important point.
