“This measure builds on the abolition of public inpatient charges for children, which I introduced last year, and is another significant step in ensuring that people have access to affordable healthcare services.”

Mr Donnelly indicated he would introduce the legislation to the Oireachtas in March.

Christine said she feels like she has been failed by successive Governments. She added: “It’s a fighting battle from the time you get up until the time you go to bed trying to get the proper information which never comes forward.”

When asked how she felt about delivering letters she said it was tough.

She said: “It’s very emotional and it’s terrible that we have to do this but unfortunately we have to do it, if it’s left lying it’ll be forgotten about totally.

“But I can guarantee you, I will never ever, ever let this go until justice is served for Amy.”

A heartbreaking letter from Amy’s biological father Christopher to Mr Martin called for his help.

The memo, read by Christine, said:

“I have lost both of my children tragically in tragic circumstances.

“And all I want is to be able to visit her alongside her brother. Our family is brokenhearted. Please help us find Amy and bring her home and lay her to rest.” Amy vanished from the Costa del Sol on New Year’s Day 2008.

She was last seen when she left a pal Ashley Rose’s home at 10pm where she was helping babysit her friend’s brother in Riviera del Sol, near Mijas.

Walk

From there she was to return to her own villa — a 10-minute walk away.

Amy was living with her mum Audrey, her stepdad Dave Mahon and brother Dean.

Dean was stabbed to death by Mahon on May 25, 2013, who later served five years in jail for manslaughter.
