Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am no spokesperson for the laboratories. They failed to do so, it was entirely inappropriate and I share Dr. Scally's frustration with that situation. Dr. Scally kept me informed throughout the process and I am pleased that he seems to have got to the bottom of matters and established many facts. The idea that people could not or would not co-operate is entirely unacceptable to me, to the Government and to this House.
