Cancer Screening Programme: Motion.
Let us examine the matter from a comparative point of view. How much are we currently spending on the national roads programme? I am not saying such spending should be reduced, but it runs into billions. I understand we are spending €60 million a year on animal disease eradication. Can we not afford €21 million to save the lives of women across the country? It seems that we either cannot or will not do so. I want to know who is responsible for that decision. Is it the Minister for Health and Children or the Minister for Finance? The women of Ireland demand to know who is behind this.
