Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

I previously raised an issue about fishing of our inland waterways. I ask that the appropriate Minister come before the House to hear the views of Members pertaining to certain conclusive evidence reported in The Irish Times yesterday, that one of the most famous carp fisheries in the country outside of Mullingar, Gaulmoylestown Lake is being over-fished. The stock is being taken out without being replaced. This is a source of great worry to the local angling fraternity. I am sure Senator Dardis, who is a keen angler, and other Members will bear that out.

I am increasingly concerned about the increased incidence of type 2 diabetes. This condition now affects between 3% and 4% of the population and merits screening, such is the increase in its incidence. It is an extremely dangerous condition and has serious implications for the health services and sufferers. I ask the Leader to arrange for the two appropriate Ministers to come before the House at the earliest possible opportunity.
