Denis Naughten: Last week at a Cancer Trials Ireland event, patient advocate Patrick Kivlehan spoke out about how participating in a clinical trial probably saved his life.

The current national cancer strategy aims for 6% of...

Denis Naughten: In what is my last-ever intervention during Leaders' Questions, I return to the issue of genomics and cancer. Today there 2,435 people on the waiting list at St. James's Hospital for hereditary cancer tests, including for breast cancer.

Pearse Doherty: The facts speak for themselves. The CSO has cut right through the Minister's bluster and spin. The CSO has told us they are not their figures or what they are presenting.

That is a simple fact. The...

Darragh O'Brien: Beidh díomá ar an Teachta because déanfaimid níos mó ná ár sprioc an bhliain seo. Táim cinnte faoi sin. We will deliver high 30,000s or early 40,000s this year. I talk to people who are building and I am out around the Twenty-Six Counties of the Republic. Deutsche Bank's report confidently predicts over 40,000 units this year. Cairn, one of the...

Darragh O'Brien: The fact of the matter is this Government delivered more new social homes last year than has been done in 50 years and will do more this year. We will achieve our social housing new-build targets this year and will exceed our affordable housing targets this year.
