Séamus Healy (Tipperary South, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need to immediately roll out the BreastCheck programme to all areas of the country, including the south east and south Tipperary in view of the 1,700 cases of women diagnosed with breast cancer each year and the approximate 640 women who die each year from breast cancer and to allow the Tánaiste and Minister for Health to make a statement on the matter.
