MINISTER FOR Finance Brian Lenihan said yesterday that his treatment for cancer was going well and he had been able to perform his duties since the treatment began three months ago.
"I am on a robust programme of treatment and it is proceeding satisfactorily," Mr Lenihan told Seán O'Rourke on RTÉ's News At One.
“I have been in a position to perform my duties in the last three months since I received the diagnosis at the start of the treatment.
“It hasn’t obstructed me in performing my constitutional duties. I have attended in the House on Question Time on every occasion it has arisen. I have also participated in many parliamentary debates and media discussions about the economy and banking and other subjects and I will continue to do so,” the Minister added.
