The difficulty in accessing new cancer-treating drugs in this country from time to time has already been raised this morning in this House and in other locations. It was already mentioned by Deputy Doherty in the House. Will the Tánaiste use his good offices with the European Commission to ensure the attributes of the Single Market are made available, which they are entitled to be, in this country as in every other country in the EU. There should not be differentiation on the basis of different countries. Each territory should have access to the Single Market equally.
