Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I was there on the day we announced the €50,000, which was warmly welcomed by the Deputy and by everybody else. Fair play to the Deputy, he has doubled his bet now in terms of the request. It was the first time ever a response of this kind came from Government and it was part of wider financial supports that were allocated to cancer centres across the country. Yes, Cancer Connect does extraordinary work around the entirety of County Cork where it brings patients to services. The Minister for Health has a lot of pressure with regard to expenditure demands but I have no doubt that when she comes to look at this situation, we will see what we can do in terms of Cancer Connect and the other bodies as well.
