Taoiseach Simon Harris has said that he cannot imagine the pain and grief experienced by the family of 16-year-old Aoife Johnston, who died at University Hospital Limerick in 2022.

Mr Harris expressed his “deepest sympathies” to Ms Johnston's family and said he would refrain from commenting further due to the ongoing inquest.
