Ken O'Flynn (Cork North-Central, Independent Ireland Party)

Will the Minister please inform the House when the Government first received reports indicating that the anti-malaria drug Lariam, mefloquine, was associated with adverse side effects? When did the Department of Defence become aware of that? Can the Minister also confirm whether Lariam was issued to all personnel of all ranks, and not just the privates or the NCOs?

I also note that the Taoiseach has travelled 20 times in the last ten months-----
