Speaking this evening, Deputy Ó Snodaigh said:
“Today’s news that Irish Peacekeepers will be given an alternative anti-malaria drug to Lariam is to be strongly welcomed, and is a victory for the Action Lariam Irish Soldiers group and for those who served in our Defence Forces.
For almost a decade, I have raised the dangerous and potentially fatal side effects associated with Lariam with successive Defence Ministers.
