View answer235 Mr. Naughten asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the number of persons between the ages of 16 and 25 diagnosed with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis in 2004; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20954/05]

As Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are not notifiable diseases, there are no precise statistics available on the number of persons in Ireland suffering from these conditions.
