The Minister will get a chance to come back in.

Seanad Éireann has passed the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Bill 2023, without amendment.

While we are correcting things on equity, I made a mistake. I forgot to let in Deputy Murnane O'Connor. She can come in now but I will not bring in the Minister of State again.

We will move on now to Question No. 10.

On a general point, I am faced here with late requests, which means that Members with questions down will not be reached. Deputy Ó Murchú submitted his request in plenty of time yesterday. There may have been a breakdown in communications somewhere. I was aware that Deputy Ó Murchú was substituting. He did everything right and notified us yesterday. I will proceed to Question No. 10 and perhaps Deputy Bruton will check if a written notification was submitted to the office.

There was a slight problem with notifications. We will now take Question No. 9. We will probably only have time for one more question and perhaps part of another one. The notification of Deputy Stanton's substitution was sent in yesterday so we can proceed.

Yes. This will save people sitting around. If we have time, we will take Deputy Mac Lochlainn's question.

Go maith.

Comhlacht Formhaoirsithe Seachtrach. Níl sé ró-dheacair.

Le beagáinín cleachtadh, beidh sé i bhfad níos éasca.

I always have the privilege, although I do not know if it is a privilege, of being the last speaker on Thursday afternoon. The Bill has 24 sections, three Parts and one Schedule. Ostensibly, it sets out to do four things. One is to establish an external oversight body on a statutory basis. There is already a body in place but it is not on a statutory basis and it is a good thing that this Bill will put it on a statutory basis. That was one of the key recommendations of the IRG which I will come to in a minute. It c…

I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: Deputy Cian O'Callaghan - To discuss plans to improve public access to Aideen's Grave in Howth. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan - To discuss the proposed changes to the 220 bus route at Grange Manor, Ovens, County Cork. Deputy Michael Ring - To discuss the completion of Ballyhaunis primary care centre. Deputy Carol Nolan - To discuss the application of Charleville N…

Táimid thar am. Gabh mo leithscéal.

Tá neart spéise agam ach táim faoi bhrú. Tá rud eile-----

Tá mé anseo mar dhuine neodrach.

I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Bill. There are 21 sections and 4 Parts. There has been no regulatory impact analysis and no explanation has been given for that. It faced pre-legislative scrutiny. A detailed report was carried out, which gave a detailed background and had ten key recommendations in addition to other recommendations. I understand all ten have been completely ignored. The Minister of State made a speech in which he spoke about the importance of listening to survivors, which we should all do…

We will do it through the Chair, please.

I thank the Deputy. We are over time.
