- Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (23 Oct 2024)
Duncan Smith: The Labour Party will be supporting this legislation, as we have previously. Risk equalisation, which the Bill provides for annually, ensures costs will be constant across a lifespan for an individual. It seeks to ensure that, where possible, age, gender and health status will not influence the cost of an insurance product. Let me be clear, though. Our support for this Bill is not an...
- Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (23 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: This is the annual practice of committing to the provisions of this legislation relating to the private health insurance market to provide for community rating and risk equalisation. It is a technical measure. In the context of a private health insurance market, it makes sense not to have cherry-picking by some of the newer entrants into the market or any kind of marketing to attract...
- Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: This is an annual Bill to review the risk equalisation mechanism that supports the community-based health service insurance market. It revises the stamp duty levy on policies and the risk equalisation credits payable to insurers for 2025. Risk equalisation as a principle ensures that costs are constant across the lifespan of the individual. It seeks to ensure, where possible, that age,...

- Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (23 Oct 2024)
Stephen Donnelly: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." This is an annual technical Bill regarding health insurance. However, there is a crucial difference this year in that I propose to make amendments to the Bill in the House in the coming hour or two which will create the legal framework for the provision of free hormone replacement therapy in Ireland for the first time. We are liberally...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (23 Oct 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: Go raibh maith agat. I wish to raise the lack of classes for autistic children in County Mayo. I have one case where a parent is looking for a school place for next year and she has been told it is not possible. This parent and other parents will be forced to take cases in the High Court to try to get places for their children. I ask the Taoiseach to please look at what is happening in...

The Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, meets weekly with the National Council for Special Education and I will ask her to raise at the next meeting the specific issue of the situation in County Mayo and revert to Deputy Conway-Walsh...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (23 Oct 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: Care in this country is met with rhetoric rather than resources. At the start of this year we had the care referendum, when the Government promised a new era, but when we look at the delivery of care, including children in State care which I mentioned earlier, nursing home care and childcare, we see that resources are not nearly enough to deliver what should be a decent level of care in...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I spoke to Taoiseach recently about autism units in Louth and Dundalk, and the fact there are 18 secondary schools in Louth and only half of them provide units. We could decide to hammer the schools but when we speak to schools such as the Marist, it will speak about going over and back with the NCSE and the Department and say that it has been far from perfect. With regard to primary...
