Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
General Scheme of a Certain Institutional Burials (Authorised Interventions) Bill: Discussion
Dr. Niamh McCullagh:
I will answer Senator Fitzpatrick's last question first. Most of the organisations that undertake similar work would have a family liaison officer who is constantly in communication with survivors and victims, and that is essential. That was something that was identified in the first step of the expert technical group report. Recommendations from across the globe with similar scenarios have been that communication with survivors and victims' families is crucial. It is the crucial first step and it needs to be an open door.
What was the first question the Senator asked me?
