Finally !!!! We got a reply from Minister Simon Harris’s Office, (See Below) and it would appear he would prefer that we do not clutter up the gates of the Dail. While we understand his position and will certainly respect his request to deliver our petition to Hawkins House which would take us away from the Dail, to the dept of health where the press wouldn’t be, and no member of the Government or anyone else would see. So I’m thinking ..... meeting outside the Dail and walking to ​Hawkins House​ together ? Thats just my thoughts.... 13th March 2018 Ref: MSHD0148-18 Dear Ms Lyon Minister Harris would like to thank you for your recent correspondence inviting him to meet with you to accept the hand-over of your petition. Owing to a full schedule of Diary and Government business the Minister is unable to accede to your request. The Minister has asked that you deliver the petition to the Department of Health, Hawkins House, where senior officials from the Minister's Office will collect it and bring it to the Minister's attention. Yours sincerely Paula Smeaton Private Secretary************************* Im Davina Lyon Co-Founder of Diabetes T One & A Diabetes Life http://adiabeteslife.com/ Seek-Question-Improve
