What the debate was about

Auto-generated

If we are not even going to be able to discuss the amendments because they have been ruled out of order and require money messages, we should at least be open to the amendments seeking a report on the operation of the scheme. On the amendments the Senator tabled that were ruled out of order, the relevant section can be discussed when we put the question.

Is there a danger that persons who gave birth in a different institution such as a maternity hospital, but who were then subsequently transferred and may have spent many years in a mother and baby home institution, could fall out of the scheme? I want to indicate that while an amendment by Senator Boyhan was ruled out of order we may bring back more amendments on Report Stage in terms of allowing for subject matters contained within section 4.2 to be subject to further consideration beyond the cessation date of the Act.

Party shown is the one each member held on 2023-05-16, frozen by a dated join — not their party today. The Oireachtas API publishes no date of birth and returns an empty gender field for every member in this period, so no age or gender breakdown is shown.
