I raised the issue of a pathologist for Kerry on 19 June. There has been no improvement since. Last week we had a delay of eight days for a Rathmore man. On Sunday evening my long-time best friend and neighbour, Tim John Healy, passed away and there is no account of his post-mortem yet. When a sudden death happens and the remains go away to the morgue, all people want to do is to get the body home and have a dignified funeral. I wish to sympathise with Tim John's wife, Noreen, and their children Siobhán, Geraldine, Denise and Timmy. It is not fair. If a pathologist cannot be provided in Kerry, I am asking for some other arrangements to be made with Limerick, Cork or somewhere.
