I say this in all sincerity because it is a matter about which I am very passionate. The number of people who saw the area around Lough Derg during Covid was fantastic. The hotel in Athenry burned down. We have one hotel in Nenagh and one in Ballina. As for trying to provide accommodation, it is virtually impossible because no one can get planning. We have fantastic natural attractions. We have fantastic activities involving the lake, walking, cycling and adventure sports and everything else. We have brilliant even…

I want the Minister to push for it.

Okay, I do not mind. To be fair, it is a little confusing because there are three sets of amendments to the initial set of amendments. In any event, we will work through them. On the basis of discussions we have had, I probably will not press my amendment, but the spirit of it was based on ensuring there would be a full understanding of what was required to ensure there would be open disclosure throughout services and screening. My amendment will provide for an obligation for patients to be informed of their right …

We are happy. It would probably be helpful if we could let the Minister continue.

He is motoring.

I thank the Minister. I also thank the Acting Chair, Deputy Funchion, for indulging all of us in this debate. It was necessary for the Minister to provide that outline. Perhaps we can pull back and put a structure on this amendment. I will not be pushing the Labour Party amendment but I seek clarification one or two minor matters. Based on the new amendment the Minister has brought forward and to which we were privy, I welcome all of the work done. I, too, thank the Minister for the manner in which he dealt with th…

Will the Minister put in writing that his understanding and interpretation of the new amendment he is proposing in section 7 to provide for an obligation to inform patients of their right to make a request for a Part 5 review, specifically subsection (2) which he read out, is that anybody who has been diagnosed with cancer will be told within a reasonable timeframe that they will have a patient safety review option? Will he direct, in the form of a letter, that this is the intention of the legislation, even if we c…

Deputy Sherlock has just taken the Chair. We are ad-libbing a bit because we are getting through the Bill quicker by doing it this way. You could give him a bit of time, Acting Chair.

That is what I understood.

There were some issues with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. That is the reason I ask.

To bring you up to speed, Acting Chair, we started off with the amendment tabled by me and Deputy Duncan Smith. Based on the Minister's contribution and the way in which he has dealt with this, we will not be pushing it. We will support the Minister's amendment.

We will be supporting the amendment as well. I respect everything the Minister said and the manner in which he has dealt with this issue. This Bill has been broadened out. The reason we need a vote on the amendment is to bring to people's attention the fact that this matter has to be dealt with. Deputy Shortall quoted the Scally report. The fact that we have not had progress is ridiculous. The fact that this is outstanding is ridiculous. We will support the amendment on the basis that this needs to be dealt with. A…

Serious experience.

I want to thank everybody. I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for the way in which she dealt with this. I thank the Minister for the way in which he engaged. I thank his officials and particularly thank the Deputies who sat through this, Deputies Cullinane and Shortall, for the way that we have dealt with this Bill. For me, on a personal level, this is probably the most important piece of legislation I have ever done in my life because of the way, in an accident of politics and work, I became very close to Vicky Phe…

Hear, hear.

As the Taoiseach knows, we have worked thoroughly on this Bill and in fairness to the Minister, he has come a long way with us. I admired what he did before Christmas because he is one of few Ministers who has ever stopped legislation proceeding, saying we needed more time. He has made changes that I thoroughly respect. The Minister knows, however, that this amendment regarding the time at which women who are diagnosed with cancer are told about the patient safety review has to be instituted in law. Otherwise, the …

We seek clarification.

In fairness, the Minister answered.

I am glad the Bill has come before the Dáil following the need to bring it forward and given the need to transpose the EU directive. There has been some controversy in the lead-up to this and I am glad to have the opportunity to contribute on it. Events over the past year or so have really driven home the importance of a thriving and sustainable indigenous agrifood sector. With that in mind, this is an important and laudable Bill. It will have significant effects on the modernisation of our agriculture sector, on m…

What is rare is wonderful.
