I am sure Mr. McCallion is aware of the phrase “show me the money”. In his opening statement, he referred to budget 2025 and €20 million in additional funding for the national cancer strategy. Nowhere in his opening statement did he mention any additional funding for new measures for budget 2026. We have been asking about this. We have asked the Irish Cancer Society. It is in the dark. Nobody seems to know how much additional funding is in the budget for any part of the health system but specifically for the national cancer strategy. Can Mr. McCallion tell me today how much additional funding is in the budget for the national cancer strategy for 2026?
