Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the necessity for the Department of Health and Children to establish a redress board to address the plight of those women who were subjected to unnecessary Caesarian hysterectomies by Dr. Michael Neary in Our Lady Of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, between 1974 and 1988 and, further, that this board would also have within its remit addressing the many cases of unnecessary symphysiotomy carried out at this hospital until the early 1980s.
