Mary White (Fianna Fail)

Deputy Máire Hoctor is the dedicated Minister of State with responsibility for older people. Will the Acting Leader invite her to the House to discuss my document, A New Approach to Ageing and Ageism, and to outline her agenda? I am not referring to important health issues alone. For example, there is an age cap of 64 years in respect of free breast cancer screening and a cap of 70 years is only an aspiration. I want a broader debate on the elderly. The new Minister of State has been proactive and a debate would be interesting and helpful to everyone.
