Cancer Services
Seanad Éireann — 2021-04-23
============================================================

Robert Troy (FF), Longford-Westmeath

I thank the Senator. She has made a strong case and I will relay her suggestions to the Minister. To be fair to the Senator, she acknowledged the extra €10 million invested in the National Screening Service this year. That demonstrates the commitment of this Government to national cancer screening services.
I, too, compliment Councillor Teresa Costello on the really good advocacy work she has been doing. It takes guts and commitment for somebody who has come through what she has to turn a negative to a positive. She has been a strong advocate.
As I said, I commit to relaying to the Minister the points the Senator raised today.
