Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 March 2012
25 Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Defence if litigation has commenced against the Defence Forces relating to the use of Lariam; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14020/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that personal injury claims arising from the prescription of Lariam (an anti-malaria chemoprophylaxis) by the Defence Forces' Medical Corps are managed by the State Claims Agency in conjunction with the Chief State Solicitor's Office. To date, High Court legal proceedings have been served in respect of four Plaintiffs. Legal proceedings have issued but not yet served in one other case.
