View answerIn accordance with the Programme for Government I met with both representative bodies of Irish survivors of thalidomide on Friday 15th July last. I listened to their proposals for additional health care supports and financial assistance. I undertook to consider their proposals and have further discussions with them. As soon as I have completed this consideration, I will be in touch with the Irish Thalidomide Association at an early date.
