Ms Róisín Molloy:

Gerard was his name. She asked me to mention his name. Anne Griffith is the mammy's name and she actually stuck with the HSE's process and hers is one of the cases that have been brought before Peter Boylan with the HSE. For Anne there is a conflict in terms of her notes and her own recollection of what happened. She has yet to be contacted by the team. In addition, she went to Mullingar to get her baby's birth certificate - he lived for one minute - and was told he was not logged anywhere. He does not show up in statistics. It is still happening and the statistics are still not accurate.
