Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I cannot second guess why a laboratory did or did not do anything. All I and this House can rely on are the findings of the Scally report which showed very serious shortcomings in respect of governance and procurement but not in respect of deficiencies. I am satisfied that Dr. Scally has established the truth in that regard. I am also satisfied that the new standards that we have in place will ensure that this will not happen again.
