Niall Collins (Limerick, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I will give the Minister the details of Ms Sarah Bland after this session. Maybe the Minister can contact her directly herself, because it is a very serious case which did not make it into the review mechanism.

There is an injustice in the case of Sarah Bland and a mechanism to address it must be found. I will provide the Minister with details afterwards.

Is it fair to state the Minister is not ruling out a commission of investigation following the completion of the work by the panel of barristers who comprise this independent review mechanism? I believe a formal commission of investigation will be merited in a number of cases that are in the public domain. Can the Minister confirm to Members today that a formal commission of investigation established by the Oireachtas is a potential outcome arising from the review mechanism?
