Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

First, I acknowledge the very good and important work Deputy Ó Cuív has done in this area over many years and appreciate the great support he has been on occasion in a variety of roles. In regard to the individual case, he will understand, not that he is asking me to, that I am not going to comment on the rights and wrongs of it here without full knowledge, but I will certainly ask the Minister, Deputy McEntee, to consider raising the matter in a way she views as appropriate and to revert to the Deputy directly.
