Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Strategic Communications Unit (21 Mar 2018)

Micheál Martin: In yesterday's petty and self-regarding speech from the Taoiseach, he again questioned why we should be talking about this at all.

The system described by him is not working; it is failing. Professor McElvaney has been the lead clinician in this area for well over a decade. He has worked on the Alpha-1 gene and Alpha-1 deficiency and his expertise has been ignored....
