Departmental Reviews
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-26
============================================================

David Cullinane (SF), Waterford

The Minister will know that 1,500 children have experienced a major congenital malformation or some form of neurodevelopmental delay because of exposure to sodium valproate. He committed to an inquiry into this but that has not happened. I believe terms of reference have still not been agreed. Support packages were supposed to be put in place for victims and survivors but that has not happened. I want to get a sense of the status and how this can be advanced as quickly as possible.
