The issue of the administration of Lariam to members of the Defence Forces travelling to countries where malaria is a problem has been raised in this House on a number of occasions. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn has raised it and I have raised it myself. I thought I had a certain sense from the Minister, when it was last raised, that he may have been slightly more open than his predecessor to looking at the impact of this drug. The stories I am hearing - I am hearing even more of them - are extremely alarming, to put it at its mildest, in terms of the impact of this drug on some people who use it.
