Mark Daly (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

It is not often an issue comes before the Oireachtas that is as clear cut, brutally simple and has life or death implications as the issue of organ donation and the provision of the drug Orkambi for people who suffer from cystic fibrosis. It is a life saving and life improving drug, but the Government has suspended negotiations on it. We understand that the Minister for Health was supposed to meet his European colleagues and try to secure an over-arching approach to this, but he has not managed to get a solution from them.
