Seanad debates

Thursday, 28 November 2002

Would it be possible for the Minister of State with responsibility for European affairs, Deputy Roche, to come to the House within the next couple of weeks to outline the action the Government is taking, with its European colleagues, to pursue this issue and to put pressure on the drugs companies to provide much needed medicine to stave off the problem of AIDS in Africa? I understand that in some villages in Africa, people are selected to receive these life saving drugs while others are forgotten about. Members of the European Union have a responsibility to act collectively on this issue. A short debate with the Minister of State, Deputy Roche, to set out the agenda of work in this area would be useful at some point in the future.
