Marie Moloney (Labour)

I extend my sincere sympathy to the family of a man who lost his life in a house fire in Beaufort near Killarney last night.

I do not call for a debate, but I warmly welcome a newspaper report regarding developments in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

The UK Department of Health is due to publish a review of the breast cancer screening programme later this year. According to a recent study, at least ten such women are receiving unnecessary treatment each year. When the review is published, perhaps the Minister will attend the House to let us know how this will affect the treatment of women and a small percentage of men who get breast cancer in Ireland each year.
