10. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the reason the Defence Forces increased spending on the anti-malaria drug, Lariam, by 50% in 2018, despite the fact that more than 85 soldiers are taking legal action against the Defence Forces over the devastating mental health side effects they claim they have suffered as a result of taking Lariam while serving abroad; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a motion was passed in Dáil Éireann on 28 June 2017 calling for an end to the use of Lariam by the Defence Forces; the steps he is taking to end the use of Lariam by the Defence Forces.
