In the United States and Germany, clinics had a reputation for accepting blood from undesirables who were paid $20, $30 or $40 per donation. These were high risk practices in the developing AIDS environment of the early 1980s. The Irish Haemophiliac Society wanted these matters investigated but Judge Lindsay would not broaden her remit. The Minister for Health and Children made a promise in this respect recently for which I thank him. It might be difficult and costly, but cost should not hinder this investigation.
