Vol. 384 No. 8

Written Answers. - Emigrants' Medical Insurance.

64.

asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if his attention has been drawn to the fact that there are now several thousand Irish emigrants working in Great Britain without any medical insurance; that a significant number of serious accidents have occurred where no cover exists; if he is concerned about this; and if he will make a statement on the matter, outlining the Government's intentions.

It is my understanding that all Irish citizens working in Britain are covered by that country's national health service which provides free medical benefits for any who are in need of same.
