Marian Harkin (Sligo-Leitrim, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of Dáil Éireann under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, the report from the Irish Cancer Society which predicts a doubling of the numbers of those suffering from cancer by 2020 and the current woefully inadequate cancer service available to those living in the north west and now threatened in the north east with no radiotherapy centre promised north of a line from Dublin to Galway, with the women of the north west still waiting for the roll-out of BreastCheck and no indication of a national programme to screen cervical cancer.
