Our policy would greatly enhance the role that our schools and colleges play in the area of mental health.

I am a bit cynical about the Minister for Health, Deputy Leo Varadkar. I know he is a media person and is glamorous but he is very much a PR man. On 17 October last year, he launched the roll-out of the free breast care screening. I was shocked when I realised it would not begin until the end of 2015. Why is he launching a screening programme a year in advance if it will not commence until the end of the following year? Let us see him deliver something other than fancy pictures in the newspapers and smart talk. Obviously, he is intelligent but let him sort out the impracticalities and inefficiencies in his Department.
