Clare Daly: Exactly.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Overseas Missions (26 Jan 2016)

Clare Daly: As the Minister has said, the region is on fire. The reality is that the role the troops are playing there is not one of a stabilising influence.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Defence Forces Medicinal Products (26 Jan 2016)

Clare Daly: This follows on from a number of parliamentary questions from Deputies and the Minister's meeting with individuals in the campaign for action on Lariam.

I am only talking about sub-Saharan Africa. The United States army does not have that policy and it is not the case that Lariam is the most suitable drug for that area. That is the Minister's stated policy and it is against best...
