IFPA event and health information Bill

Summary

Mattie McGrath questions the Justice Minister’s attendance at an Irish Family Planning Association event, citing earlier concerns about crisis-pregnancy information. The Tánaiste says the issue will be addressed through the forthcoming health information Bill.

Does the Tánaiste have an opinion on the Minister for Justice and Equality attending the launch of a document by the Irish Family Planning Association on Tuesday evening last?

I do not believe that is relevant to the Order of Business.

In 2012 the organisation in question was found to be disseminating life-endangering information to women with crisis pregnancies. A proper investigation was not carried out into that matter.

There is no legislation promised in respect of that issue.

I am raising this matter in the context of the health information Bill. Does the Tánaiste approve of the Minister's attendance at the event to which I refer?

That matter will be dealt with in the context of the health information Bill, for which we do not yet have a publication date.
