The idea of taking paternity leave is a very good one. I have another health question for the Tánaiste. He will recall that the roll-out of free GP care was a Labour Party initiative that began in the term of office of the last Government. In bad...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Jan 2019)

Brendan Howlin: This is Cervical Cancer Prevention Week. The Tánaiste is right; all of us in this House support medical screening for the early detection of cancer and other diseases. The medical evidence that screening saves lives is overwhelming and we all need to ensure that we encourage men and women to avail of all screening opportunities. In that context, it is essential that we and the public...

Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Second Stage [Private Members] (23 Jan 2019)
