The current national cancer strategy aims for 6% of...

Vote 42 - Rural and Community Development (Supplementary) (6 Nov 2024)

Denis Naughten: I will raise an issue with the Minister briefly. It relates to her comments regarding the library in Kilkenny and to Deputy Ó Cathasaigh’s comments regarding what is happening in Tramore.
