Healthcare and Shannon legislation
Deputy Dooley seeks publication dates for the healthcare facilities licensing Bill and Shannon aviation services centre Bill; the Tánaiste gives no date for the former but expects the latter this year.
The licensing of health care facilities Bill is due to provide for a mandatory system of licensing for public and private healthcare facilities. When can we expect the Bill to be introduced in the House? Obviously, it has implications, particularly in terms of the protection of maternal life Bill.
The Shannon aviation services centre Bill relates to the amalgamation of SFADCO and Shannon Airport under a new company structure. We would like to know when it will be published.
