Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am conscious of the comments of the Ceann Comhairle in relation of this matter and am respectful of them. This issue was raised in the House by the Deputy's colleague Deputy Farrell two weeks ago. I commented on the matter then and I have also commented on it in the media. In doing so, at all times I have been very conscious of the privacy of the individual involved and their wish for no further public comment regarding this matter. I am also very conscious of the ongoing disciplinary process that is under way in my party and the need not to cut across due process.
