Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

I do intend to make progress on this very shortly. I welcome Finola Cassidy, who has, from her perspective, become an all-too-frequent visitor to this House. It is always good to see her. I thank her for the way she engages. We are committed to the continued support of the health and personal social service needs of Irish thalidomide survivors. I have been engaging with Government colleagues on this matter. Progress has been made on certain aspects and an update will be brought to the Government very shortly.
