He will remember that I raised this matter yesterday, initially on the Order of Business.

That Dr. Comer can...

Mary White: I call for an urgent debate with the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell, to discuss the abhorrent issue of sex trafficking, a burgeoning business worth an estimated â¬28 billion per annum worldwide. That makes this heinous crime the second largest source of profit of organised crime after drug trafficking. The United Nations estimates that more than 1 million...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (29 Jun 2006)
Mary White: There must be an end to the ignorance that women who have been trafficked for sex are not being exploited in Ireland. The "Prime Time Investigates" programme highlighted the way the women are being exploited in towns and cities throughout the country. There must be a concerted effort to highlight the fact that this is a modern day slave tradeââ
- Seanad: Order of Business. (29 Jun 2006)
Mary White: ââof vulnerable people, mostly women and children, for the sexual gratification of morally depraved individuals. We, as legislators, must initiate a zero tolerance approach to those who are engaged in trafficking human beings for sex. The idea that they are acting with relative impunity makes me sick to my stomach. I want to see this issue accorded the priority it deserves and zero...

Mary White: The chairperson, Professor H. Paul Redmond, and the second National Cancer Forum, are to be commended for producing this comprehensive, clear, concise document. The onus falls on those in the Oireachtas to ensure the strategy is fully and properly implemented. Approximately 170 cases of diagnosed cervical cancer and 76 deaths occur each year. We must urgently roll out the national cervical...
- Seanad: A Strategy for Cancer Control in Ireland: Statements. (28 Jun 2006)
Mary White: I thank the Senator. I recommend in the document that the 64 years of age limit on breast cancer screening be abolished. Professor Des O'Neill is one of the senior gerontologists in Ireland and one of the men who inspired me to produce my document. When I started on this mission 18 months ago I knew nothing about ageing, ageism and the health aspects. Professor O'Neill has said that women are...
- Seanad: A Strategy for Cancer Control in Ireland: Statements. (28 Jun 2006)
Mary White: I am always in trouble so I must be careful. I thank the Minister of State for attending the debate. As the Minister of State with responsibility for the elderly, he should put his foot down and insist there not be an age limit on cancer screening. All the international reports state that 55 to 75 year old women are at greater risk of getting cancer.
