Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Nov 2020)

Peadar Tóibín: In this Covid-centric world, much of non-Covid Ireland is being forgotten about. Many really important sectors of Irish society feel they have fallen off the world when it comes to Government priority. Some 150,000 cancer appointments have been missed this year. There are 200,000 women on cancer screening waiting lists who, despite the winter plan, will not be reached this year. Some...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Nov 2020)

That would be fine but there is a massive cost to the restrictions in terms of patients missing cancer appointments, the large...

That objective is not a pipe dream or a romantic idea....
