Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

That is a good question but I suggest it may be a question for Dr. Scally when he appears before the health committee. Although Deputy Connolly certainly did not say this, I do not believe Dr. Scally to be in any way naive. I believe him to be one of the most robust people we can possibly have to do this job. When he gets the bit between his teeth, he keeps on pursuing, and we saw that with the progress he has made. All I can take is his satisfaction that he got to the bottom of this in terms of the number of laboratories.
