Public Accounts Committee

Matters related to Medical Negligence, Open Disclosure, Cervical Cancer and Thalidomide Litigation

Mr. Ciarán Breen:

Yes, I will clarify this for the committee. We have 23 in-house solicitors dealing with these matters. We have two legal units that defend claims on behalf of the State, one on the general side and one on the clinical side.
