Defence discipline Bill

Summary

Seán Ó Fearghaíl asks about the delayed Defence (Amendment) (Discipline) Bill and medical-card legislation; the Taoiseach promises the defence Bill for next year and says medical cards will be restored administratively.

No doubt yesterday’s flying visit by the Taoiseach to Lebanon was appreciated.

It is shambolic.

Where stands the defence (amendment) (discipline) Bill 2013 that has been promised for some time? To follow up on points raised by my party leader, Deputy Martin, in respect of the Government’s announcement today about discretionary medical cards, does the Taoiseach envisage any legislation on medical cards being brought before the House in the near future?

The defence (amendment) (discipline) Bill 2013 is promised for next year. I dealt with the discretionary medical cards earlier. They were removed on an administrative basis and will be restored on an administrative basis.
