Jim Daly (Cork South West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. It is an interesting issue. I agree that it does not just save money, it saves lives and protects quality of life, not only for the individual but for the families involved. It has enormous potential. I have undertaken to the Deputy's colleague, Deputy O'Reilly, already that when I return to my office, I will take up the matter with the chief medical officer in the Department and get an update on the possibility of expanding the range of early screenings for newborns.
