Manus Boyle (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I thank the Minister of State and the Minister for Health. I know she put a lot of work into this because the Italian company really did not want to talk to us at the start and she reached out to it. We all know the assessment has to be done. I am glad that the drugs group met yesterday but it is crucial we get this medicine over the line for these children. There is one child in Donegal, Nathan, getting it across the Border, where Dermot cannot get it. This is totally wrong. We need to get this sorted as soon as possible.
