Sir, – Your article regarding Randox diagnostic deal with Mexico is interesting (Business + Innovation, October 21st).
In particular the quote by Dr Peter FitzGerald, managing director of Randox Teoranta: “Of course it is not just about economic growth and job creation, most important to us is the fact that our technology, researched and developed in Ireland, will contribute to earlier diagnosis, more accurate treatment and better outcomes for patients in Mexico, as well as reducing the burden on the country’s health service.”
Minister for Health James Reilly might do well to go on a junket to Mexico – they seem to have it solved. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – When President Michael D Higgins told Mexico that Ireland is emerging from its economic crisis steadily and with determination, did he utter a qualifying rider about our health, educational and other social policy crises? – Yours,etc,
