Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: Was that just on refrigeration? I am not a scientist but I certainly know what happens to a dead body if it is left out in the open without adequate refrigeration. Would Ms Rothwell also have been aware of this, as any one of us would be? Maybe she was aware but just did not like to think about it, which was a luxury the families did not have, unfortunately, because they had to deal with it.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Is she happy about that today? Ms Rothwell referred to an appointment that will start on Monday to put in place policies and procedures. Is the witness saying that those policies and procedures are not in place...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: Has the Office of the State Pathologist said that it will use the service from now on and that it is happy with the facility?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: No. The Office of the State Pathologist is still unhappy with it but people are still working there. I have to tell Ms Rothwell that I would not fancy working there and I do not think she would either. It is not great. We were not prepared for this discussion because it was not flagged in the opening statements. Sin é.
