- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Help us to Help More Campaign: Irish Medical Organisation (27 May 2014)
Jillian van Turnhout: I, too, welcome the delegation. It is great to have this discussion. I read the presentation and want to understand more by asking one or two questions. First, Dr. Walley stated in his presentation that GP care is provided 24-7, 365 days a year.

Jillian van Turnhout: I warmly welcome the Minister to the House. This Bill is an important step towards protecting the public, and particularly children, from the extremely harmful effects of sunbed use.
