Comment on this
I propose to take Questions Nos. 24 and 37 together.
The results of the study into the prevalence of Down's Syndrome on the east coast and of the related study being carried out in County Donegal following suggestions that there was a higher than average incidence of Down's Syndrome births in that county are not yet available. I am currently making arrangements to have these studies brought to a conclusion as soon as possible. I will announce the results of the studies as soon as they are available.
