Ms Róisín Molloy:

The context was that we were trying to get the investigation completed and also trying to get baby Mark’s report. As we had limited input into the final report, we needed to see the draft report to see its contents. We were told we would have to go for a judicial review to get access to a draft report, even though all the staff members would have had access to it prior to its publication.

Praveen Halappanavar then actually got the draft report into his wife, Savita’s, death. We told them they had set a precedent so we wanted the draft report.

That was the context. These are emails, but we are talking about thousands of hours. Every one of the emails was followed up by 20 telephone calls.
