Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Treatment of Rare Diseases: Discussion

2:00 am

Professor Michael Barry:

I will say one thing in general about that. Over the past 27 years, even though it has been suggested that I should probably retire, I have never been exposed to political pressure, to be fair to everybody. We have always been left to get on with our work and we have done it as earnestly as we possibly can. I would like to thank the political system for supporting us. We have never felt under pressure, and we have always done the work as fast and as well as we possibly can. That will continue for as long as I am around. I thank all of you for supporting us.
