Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for raising the matter. I extend to Deputy Healy Rae my sympathies on the passing of his friend Tim John Healy, and also to Noreen and the family. I am sorry for their loss. On the issue of pathology services in Kerry, I understand the sensitivities with time. At a time of tragedy or sadness, people just want their loved one back. I will certainly seek an update on the pathology service. I will ask the Minister to revert to the Deputy directly on some of the suggestions he made of working with other areas.
