Pat Rabbitte

Question:

106 Mr. Rabbitte asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to concerns expressed by the Parents for Justice group, concerning aspects of the Dunne inquiry into organ retention; the steps which are being taken to address the parents' concerns; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin):

I am aware that Parents for Justice has expressed concern about certain aspects of the post mortem inquiry. I intend to meet with representatives of the group shortly to hear their concerns at first hand. Following that, I will be in a better position to determine what needs to be done to expedite the work of the inquiry.
