Gino Kenny (PBP), Dublin Mid-West

I wish to raise the serious consequences for everybody in respect of cancer care in Ireland. Obviously, because of the pandemic and its consequences, cancer care in the context of diagnosis, early treatment and early intervention has been severely curtailed. In fact, according to some experts on cancer, there could be a five- to ten-year tailback in early intervention. This is very serious for those who want to get screened and so forth. What is this Administration doing at present to address those issues in cancer care?
