Members participating from outside Leinster House are advised that they cannot participate when they are offline. Before we begin, I bring everyone's attention to the notice on privilege.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)
Jackie Cahill: Before we hear from members, I want to make a few points as Chair. To say the “RTÉ Investigates” programme was disturbing would be an understatement. To see the way horses were treated was horrific in the extreme. As a country that prides itself on its horse racing industry and horse sport industry, Ireland must have suffered reputational damage if an abattoir like the...

- Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (26 Jun 2024)
Mary Butler: I thank the Deputy. I agree with what she said about the need to maximise capacity and the strong relationship between the customer, or sometimes the patient, and the pharmacist. We normally return to the same pharmacy, especially in smaller communities. What we are referring to in the Bill currently are what we call common conditions, including some of those the Deputy referred to, such...
- Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (26 Jun 2024)
Róisín Shortall: My other amendment is on contraception. Is the Minister of State saying that these amendments will facilitate the extension of the management of chronic illness as a set of conditions by community pharmacists?
- Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (26 Jun 2024)
Mary Butler: The current amendments will not facilitate the chronic disease management role. The amendment the Deputy tabled, which I think might be No. 7, was seeking on a report on the role of pharmacists in that respect.
- Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (26 Jun 2024)
Róisín Shortall: That has been ruled out of order, unfortunately.
- Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (26 Jun 2024)
Mary Butler: It has been ruled out of order. It states, "The Minister shall, within six months of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before Dáil Éireann a report on expanding the role of pharmacists in chronic disease management." That is where we want to get to. It is really important. At the moment, what is included in this legislation is what is called common conditions as opposed...
- Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (26 Jun 2024)
Róisín Shortall: I think that is a missed opportunity. It is a pity the Minister of State did not go further, because we would presumably need additional primary legislation to have the management of chronic illnesses placed in the hands of pharmacists. It is regrettable that we did not. I regret that my amendment has been ruled out of order. I welcome what the Minister of State's amendments are doing,...
- Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (26 Jun 2024)
Mary Butler: The Minister wants to take it forward, like the Deputy said, with regard to chronic illness. It is just the timing of the pharmacy taskforce considering the services offered by pharmacists in other jurisdictions. This states, "The Minister shall, within six months of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before Dáil Éireann a report on expanding the role of pharmacists in...
- Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (26 Jun 2024)
