Assisted human reproduction Bill

Summary

Deputy Louise O'Reilly asks when the assisted human reproduction Bill will be published, saying families are waiting and the work appears complete. The Minister says the heads are expected to be ready in June.

I wish to ask about the assisted human reproduction Bill, which I have raised a few times. I was advised via a parliamentary question that officials were working on the heads of the Bill last year, but many families are desperate to know when we will see it. A report was undertaken by the Health Research Board, HRB, but my understanding is that this has been concluded. If nothing is standing in the way, when will we see the legislation?

This is important and long-overdue, but also complicated, legislation. I understand that the heads are expected to be ready in June.
