Mary Lou McDonald: The woman we have just respected, Ruth Morrissey, passed away on Sunday. As the Taoiseach is aware, Ruth was one of hundreds of women impacted upon by failures in the CervicalCheck screening system.

Mary Lou McDonald: I wish to return to an issue the Taoiseach tried to brush off when it was raised by my colleague, Deputy Carthy, and to ask him two questions. Will he confirm to the House that the CAP budget is to be cut by 9% in constant prices compared with the last seven-year multi-annual financial framework, MFF? Can he answer "Yes" or "No"? Is it a matter of fact that there will be a 9% cut compared...
