Health Insurance (Amendment) and Health (Provision of Menopause Products) Bill 2024: Second and Subsequent Stages
I see we have an awful lot of people from County Kerry in the Gallery with Deputy Michael Healy-Rae. They are very welcome. Guests of Deputy Brendan Griffin are also present, as are people from Cavan-Monaghan who are here as guests of the Minister, Deputy Heather Humphreys. I extend a special welcome to two guests who are here from County Tipperary, namely Niall O'Brien and Mairéad McCormack. I hope they are enjoying the day. I welcome the Minister. He has ten minutes for his contribution.

I thank the Minister. As he said, it might be the last week. It might also be the last time he is in Seanad this term so I thank the Minister and his officials. A lot of Bills have come through the Seanad in his time as Minister for Health. He has always been very productive, and respectful, of this Chamber. We appreciate that.

Social Welfare Bill 2024: Second Stage
The Minister is very welcome to the House. I was in Skerries this morning canvassing with our fantastic candidate, Grace Boland, and we met numerous people. I met a woman and we had a chat. I just asked her how she was getting on and she said, "Sure amn't I flying it. I am going getting a load of money in the pension in the next couple of weeks because of Heather Humphreys." Mention was made about meeting people on the ground and how people appreciate the increases. I have just given an example from this morning of…

Social Welfare Bill 2024: Second Stage
I have two examples to show her why she should be proud of it. Last week, I was in Geneva for an Inter-Parliamentary Union conference with Senator Craughwell and Deputy Denis Naughten. There was a side debate, which was led by the Irish Parliament and the Tanzanian Parliament, about the importance of hot school meals and why they should be introduced in other countries. It was well attended but what was very interesting was that other countries could not get over that we are doing this for every single child in the…
