Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

The Deputy wants to have an answer to his question or he does not. The priority is to pick up today, through screening, those women who are prone to cervical cancer and then to provide quality assured treatment. That is what we are doing and that is why an extra €50 million is going into cancer next year, notwithstanding the economic circumstances. That is a fact. We cannot do everything at the same time. I wish we could.
