Peter Callanan (Fianna Fail)

I support Senator Glynn's call for a debate on male cancers and men's health generally. Senator Glynn has raised these matters in the House on many occasions. I note that lady Senators refer to the effect of certain cancers on females, but we seem to be shy and slow in taking up the question of male cancers. I am sorry to say that I have been there myself, so perhaps it is something we need to discuss. I ask the Leader for a debate on male cancers. The Irish Cancer Society is giving a presentation on prostate and other male-related cancers in Leinster House today. I have contacted the society about why there is a lack of emphasis on cancer treatment for men.
