I thank the Deputy for raising this matter. I am conscious that the coroner's inquest is ongoing, but I wish to acknowledge the pain and suffering of the Johnston family at the loss of their beautiful daughter and sister.

The Government is placing particular priority on resources at University Hospital Limerick in terms of investment and support. We have invested significantly over the past period, but we also need to see stronger and better management and Limerick embracing the reforms that have worked elsewhere.

This is a difficult time for the Johnston family. Our thoughts are with them as they go through the coroner’s process.
