An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Dail Éireann — 2021-02-24
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The Government is motivated primarily and solely by the needs and concerns of the survivors, and to do right by them. That is informing the Government's policy and its response to the commission's recommendations. The Government is focused on delivering on those recommendations, as is the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, particularly in the context of the information and tracing Bill, which we are anxious to have before the House as quickly as possible. The interdepartmental group is working on the historical recognition redress scheme. The motion has been amended to include enhanced medical cards. That is part of the recommendations and is something we want to do. We certainly would not oppose that. We do not want to divide the House on these issues. Nobody on the Government side is playing political games here. There was no legislation before the House today.
