Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I thank Deputy Ó Fearghaíl. It is good to see him back in his role of advocating for his constituents in Kildare South. I join with him in expressing sympathy to the family of the Aga Khan on his passing, and to the community he led. The Minister, Deputy Heydon, and I discussed this only yesterday. Tributes have been led by our President and throughout the country in acknowledging the huge philanthropic contribution of the Aga Khan. We think of him and his family at this very sad time.
I thank the Deputy for raising the issue of the Curragh, which will fall within the remit of my new ministerial responsibilities. I look forward to a visit to the Curragh at an early stage to meet with Oireachtas representatives from County Kildare to discuss what is a very urgent issue. It was brought up with me during the canvass in Kildare. I will meet with the Deputy on this issue.
