Jerry Cowley (Mayo, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate an urgent matter of critical importance, namely, how the Government will cope with the impending crisis of an explosion in cancer cases, the number of which is estimated to double by 2020, considering its failure to adequately fund basic oncology and palliative care services at present and failure to address the hundreds who will die due to a lack of BreastCheck and other preventative services in the west, north west and north east.
