Frances Fitzgerald (Fine Gael)

Yesterday, Senator Fidelma Healy Eames raised the extraordinary position where under the cancer strategy we have designated specialist centres, Galway being one, but that the €12 million needed for life-saving cancer drugs is not being allocated to Galway. I ask the Deputy Leader to follow that up with the Minister for Health and Children and ensure that urgent action is taken to remedy this position. If our cancer specialist centres are to mean anything, they must surely have the money to administer drugs that are necessary for cancer treatment.

I ask Senator Boyle to outline his response and that of the Green Party on two reports, the first of which is the lost at sea report. Does he support the lost at sea report being referred to a committee for full discussion as the Ombudsman, Emily O'Reilly, has requested? Is he pursuing that at Government and Cabinet level? Second, does he support the accounts of Dublin Docklands Development Authority being referred to the Committee of Public Accounts?
