Limerick East): I understand that the reported findings to which the Deputy refers are contained in a study being conducted by a general practitioner in the Dundalk area. This study has not yet been published or made available to the health board or to my Department. When the study is made available I will have it examined very carefully and if necessary have further investigations carried out.
