Marc MacSharry (Fianna Fail)

I thank Members for participating in this debate. I am shocked, however, having listened to the Minister of State. I will not cast aspersions on any individual, but her script was a disgrace. As I did not interrupt anyone during the entire debate, I expect to have the full four minutes available to me to respond.

If the director of the national cancer control programme, whose name I will not use, despite the fact that others have used it, approved the script, I am calling for her resignation because, frankly, she is incapable. I have not used anyone's name, but she is incapable of carrying out the duties the head of that organisation must be able to carry out if she is happy to stand over the script. In delivering it the Minister of State delivered an answer to a question she was not asked.
