Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The short answer is I do not have a definitive answer. I know Mr. Justice Meenan engaged with the laboratories as part of the process. The content of the legislation will not be a surprise to any of the parties. Until this gets up and running, it will be hard to tell. After we pass the legislation through the Oireachtas, that will be the appropriate time to engage further with the laboratories. Of course, I encourage all parties to avail of this as an alternative to court but I have not had formal engagement on it. I am advised by my officials that we will check further with the laboratories later this week on their viewpoint so far.
