Vol. 264 No. 8

Written Answers. - Thalidomide Children.

50.

asked the Minister for Justice whether any consideration was given to providing legal aid to parents of thalidomide children who are contemplating suing the patenting company for damages.

I have received no application in this matter but, if I were to receive one, I would regard it as a matter to be dealt with by the Department of Health, which is the Department primarily concerned with the general problems of thalidomide children. In this connection I would refer the Deputy to yesterday's reply by the Tánaiste.
