Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

When I said that people are not exactly confident in getting behind this, that is precisely what I mean. We have probably all been contacted by people who are in a situation where they are seeking an independent review. They have to go via the legal route to get an independent review. It is particularly costly apart from anything else. It is not really very fair. Women and their families want to know the truth. They have said that. For many people this will not be an issue. They are happy and it is a settled matter. They want to draw a line under it. However, for those who feel the real need for an independent review, the process is highly cumbersome and expensive. They have to go down the legal route simply to request their samples, as we have been told. Can anything be done for those people to make the whole process a little less adversarial and perhaps easier on them?
