Micheál Martin: The Minister's letter states: "Until suitable cannabis products are made available in Ireland, it will be a matter for the presciber and their patient to source the prescribed product."

It adds that...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Operations (6 Nov 2018)

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Functions (6 Nov 2018)
Micheál Martin: One of the major problems in the Brexit negotiations is the central role megaphone diplomacy seems to be playing. It is never constructive when leaks and tweets play a major part, yet it seems that both Governments are at it nearly every day. The Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, Dominic Raab, MP, appears to believe tendentious leaks and hardline statements help. Equally,...
