I speak for myself on this issue. I absolutely and wholeheartedly supported the national cancer strategy because cancer experts and the professor from Canada recommended it to us. I know not everybody, including Senator Crown, may have agreed but it was seen as the way forward. Fine Gael were unbelievably cynical in sinfully opposing that strategy, as it literally dealt with the lives of women, in particular. It was a terrible act.
