Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy should be ashamed for trying to correlate or link any of them in any way shape or form to me. Linking me to disgusting, vile, racist posts is quite a disgusting thing to do. I thought the Deputy was better than that, but maybe not. The reality of the situation is that my commitment to scoliosis treatment has seen more people get their surgeries carried out in this country. The Minister for Health's commitment has seen a clinical lead appointed. We all call out racism. We should be united on that and we should not use it for cheap political potshots.
