Jim Daly (Cork South West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I acknowledge the persistence of both Deputies and others who have continually raised and focused on this issue. I repeat what I have said every other time about the independent process and the tension that exists. Behind this is a company looking for a significant amount of money from the State to pay for that drug. That is not to take from the plight of the children affected by this. I undertake to obtain an update for both Deputies before the day is out. I think a meeting is due to be held on Tuesday, but I am not certain.
