Health (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-03-01
============================================================

Ivana Bacik (LAB), University of Dublin

I am conscious of time and do not want to prolong the debate. I thank the Minister for his very comprehensive response on our amendment No. 1 and this group of amendments. I fundamentally disagree with his analysis of what it would take to implement a more aggressive suppression strategy, in particular his analysis of how long it would take. However, there is clearly a disagreement.
I will press the amendment. It has been an important and constructive debate and generally a very courteous and respectful one. I thank all colleagues who have participated to support our amendment No. 1 and the other Opposition amendments. I again thank the Minister for engaging with the House.
