I commend the Minister for extending screening to the areas of Carlow, Wicklow and Kilkenny. Such places could almost be considered as outreach elements of the Dublin programmes as they are within easy reach of the capital. In commending the Minister, I should point out to the House that, to date, since 1997 some €400 million has been spent on cancer care, which is far in excess of what was envisaged at that time.
