- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Lyme Disease: Discussion (28 Nov 2018)
Marc MacSharry: Dr. Sheehan is of the opinion that Dr. Lambert is on a solo run which he does not support. Does Dr. Sheehan not support him in his personal quest or does he not support more education and training for GPs as Dr. Lambert suggested this morning?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Lyme Disease: Discussion (28 Nov 2018)

Those present are saying that long-term antibiotic use could be damaging and others take a different view. I say there were 100 publications but the...

Marc MacSharry: Protected disclosures are buried in the middle of that letter. In recent years there have been no protected disclosures in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.

If I cover ground which was already covered, I ask the Chairman to stop me and I will move on. I had to go to another meeting.
