Page 26 of the supplementary report of the Scally inquiry specifically states a process is in place for INAB to accredit outside the Irish jurisdiction. It is stated in smaller print:

In a very small number of cases, if an Irish organisation decided to set up a branch office in the UK, then that could fall under the remit of INAB accreditation. This information would be clearly documented on the INAB published scope of the lab.

That seems strange. The one time INAB dealt with a laboratory in another country it did not follow its own rules and then retrospectively accredited it. Something does not add up. I do not understand why INAB would do that for a private company.
