A hospital in Altnagelvin, which is five miles across the border from Donegal, offers breast screening but this service is not available in Donegal. The proposed gas pipeline between Derry and Letterkenny has proved to be economically unviable.

The debate that we need in this House is for national politics to transcend the local. We need a debate as a matter of urgency.
