CervicalCheck Tribunal (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2021-07-07
============================================================

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

I am very happy to respond. I am not trying to dismiss what the Deputy is saying at all. The Bill before us is to extend the time. The Deputy has asked me very reasonably whether we will consider extending the eligibility criteria and I am just saying we will. She is making the point there is time sensitivity and urgency. I accept that. It is not a matter for the Bill before us today, however. The Bill before us is simply about timing. On the Deputy's question as to whether we will consider eligibility, the answer is "Yes." On whether we will do so with urgency, the answer is also "Yes."
