John Crown: I apologise for being obliged to step outside but I needed to raise an issue on the Order of Business relating to the charging of public patients. Perhaps Dr. Kelleher can explain a point to me. Other than cases in which the benefit of the doubt has been given, how many confirmed cases of serious life-changing damage from vaccines have really been proven in Ireland? I mean causally proven...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Gardasil Vaccine (HPV) and Meningococcal Group B Vaccine: Discussion (20 Dec 2012)
John Crown: I will make one final point given that we spend enough time in this room discussing raiméis. This issue is extremely important because if the wrong message is sent from this room, it could kill people. The argument is being advanced that we do not need vaccination because we have screening. This is a little like arguing that we do not need to prevent children from playing with matches...

John Crown: Many of us who are new to politics had a rather unceremonial declaration of our political naivety this afternoon in the Social Welfare Bill and it has probably hardened our rhetoric somewhat. This idea is daft. It is straight out of Monty Python. There is a great scene in Monty Python where the black knight is on the bridge and he is charging everybody tax to cross it. This measure...
