Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)
——on prostate cancer and other cancers which affect men. After approximately 15 requests and 18 months, I do not believe it is unreasonable that I should again ask when we will have a debate on men's health and, of course, that other old chestnut, type 2 diabetes. There does not seem to be a great appreciation of conditions which affect men's health. As I have requested many times previously, could we have a debate on these matters as soon as possible?
There should be a mandatory sentence of at least ten years for anybody who attacks and injures someone with an offensive weapon, such as a knife. I would welcome a visit to the House by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. I accept he is doing much good work. He is a gutsy and brave Minister despite what some people might say. I believe we would benefit from such a visit.
