Cork University Maternity Hospital: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-09-30
============================================================

Mick Barry (PBP), Cork North-Central

I am in favour of disclosure and communication which is open, consistent, compassionate and timely, but what I want to know is whether those families were informed their babies’ organs and tissue were put in with medical waste, sent to another country and incinerated. The two families that accepted - were they told that? The one family which asked for regular contact – were they told that? The other 14 or 15 families – were they told that? What is the answer to that question?
