Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation
Dail Éireann — 2021-09-30
============================================================

Pádraig O'Sullivan (FF), Cork North-Central

Government approval was granted recently for the drafting of a Bill on assisted human reproduction. This comprehensive and far-reaching legislation encompasses the regulation for the first time in Ireland of a variety of practices, including domestic surrogacy. The publication of the Bill has been highlighted as a priority and the programme for Government commits to its enactment. Provisions outlined within the general scheme will ensure that assisted human reproduction practices are standardised and will have the necessary oversight. The Bill will promote the health and safety of parents, donors, surrogates and, most importantly, children. I would welcome an update on the status of the Bill.
