James Reilly: The Minister was not terribly fair to Deputy Shatter, given the manner in which she attacked him on an entirely unrelated matter.

Cystic Fibrosis: Motion (9 Apr 2009)

James Reilly: This motion comes to the House because the needs of a distinct group of Irish people, 1,100 in all, who are sufferers of cystic fibrosis in Ireland are not being met by the Government and the Minister who are fully aware of the facts, which are that cystic fibrosis sufferers die up to ten years younger than elsewhere in the western world. Cystic fibrosis occurs in this country with a greater...
