Other Deputies have already raised the disturbing and shocking case involving CervicalCheck and Mrs. Vicky Phelan. The HPV vaccine protects young girls from developing cervical cancer. The vaccine also protects boys against HPV-related cancers later in life. This House discussed a Labour Party motion on these matters some two weeks ago. That motion was passed. One of the elements of the motion involved a call on the part of this House for the Government to extend the HPV vaccination programme to include boys in their first year of secondary school. When will the terms of that motion, which was passed unanimously by Dáil Éireann, be implemented?
