- Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (23 Oct 2024)
Cathal Crowe: My apologies, I thought I was the speaker after next. I was tuned into something different. My sincerest apologies.

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: So did I but my monitor is telling me something else now.
- Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (23 Oct 2024)
Cathal Crowe: A Cheann Comhairle, thanks for calling me to speak. Like other Deputies I welcome the Bill. This is one of those pieces of legislation each year that is up there with the Social Welfare Bill and the Finance Bill. It is very important. It needs to go through the Houses. It is about ensuring that older people in society will end up with insurance cover, that there is risk equalisation,...
- 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...
