Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I thank the Deputy for raising the issue. I do not have the specifics in respect of every county across the country at hand. There have been ongoing issues with the dental service and the reform of oral health services. Orthodontics have always been challenging, notwithstanding the unprecedented funding that has been allocated to the sector. We are probably better than most European countries due to our State-funded oral health care scheme for medical card patients in terms of fees.
