Leaders' Questions (3 May 2018)

Michael Harty: I have chosen to speak on a different subject even though yesterday we had a very lengthy meeting of the Joint Committee on Health on the issue of cervical screening which revealed some very valuable information. The European Commission yesterday stated that the Common Agricultural Policy, CAP, budget is to be reduced by 5% and payments to farm families may be reduced by up to 4%. This...

Leaders' Questions (3 May 2018)

Michael Harty: I thank the Tánaiste. In addition to the difficulties a reduced CAP budget would present for Irish farmers, we have other issues coming down the line, including Brexit, for instance. We know that the Brexit negotiations are pretty much deadlocked. That will have a huge impact on farming if they are not successful and if there is to be a hard Brexit. Not only would it reduce farmers'...

Health Service Reform: Motion [Private Members] (8 May 2018)

Michael Harty: Yes, we are sharing four and six minutes. I thank all the parties that pledged their support to this motion - Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin, Labour, Independents 4 Change and Solidarity - People before Profit. I welcome that.

The system, which is attached to the skin, gives real-time readings on blood sugar. It enables...

Michael Harty: The Minister of State has not really outlined why this has been restricted to the four to 21 years age cohort. That is the reason the issue was raised. This is a new type of technology and the future of diabetes management, not only in Ireland but worldwide. It should be made available to all patients who need it. There has been an explosion of diabetes in Irish society and many patients...

Michael Harty: Not to be outdone by the Deputies Healy-Rae I will get my anecdote in first.
