John Paul Phelan (Fine Gael)

I agree with colleagues who have raised the issue of the upsurge in the numbers of cases of TB. It would be useful to invite the Minister for Health and Children to the House to discuss her strategy for combatting that increase. The Minister could also discuss the report on sudden cardiac death which she launched this morning. The report recommended that all young people involved in sport should be tested for susceptibility to sudden cardiac death and the necessity for the distribution of defibrillators to all sporting organisations throughout the country as soon as possible. I would like the Tánaiste to outline her proposals in this regard.
