- Cancer Screening Programme: Motion (Resumed). (13 Apr 2005)
John Perry: I thank Deputy Twomey for raising this very important issue. Despite having a budget of â¬12 billion within the Department of Health and Children, it is clear that as far as the delivery of services is concerned, a two tier health service exists. The roll-out of BreastCheck makes this evident. What is striking is the extreme contrast between what the Government has said it will do and what...

- Social and Affordable Housing: Motion (Resumed). (20 Apr 2005)

- Social and Affordable Housing: Motion (Resumed). (20 Apr 2005)
John Perry: However, this Government has overseen a position where people simply cannot afford to buy a house. Young people have no option but to live at home until they are in their 30s and earning a wage which will allow them to buy a house.
