This is not a question on the administration of Lariam per se. The Minister of State made a comment that it was not up to the Dáil to make a decision on medical advice and the administration of Lariam. Given that the Cabinet regularly issues funding based on HSE advice on medicines, it is a political issue as to whether the Dáil takes a decision which is not complied with by Cabinet or the military authorities. The Minister of State was wrong in what he said, unless he elaborates further on it.
