David Norris (Independent)

I got a copy from the Oireachtas Library, the library staff acting with their usual efficiency.

While I welcome what the Minister has to say, I find it more difficult to welcome the Lindsay report, which is weak in a number of aspects. Two fairly similar and fundamental questions need to be asked, arising from this tragic situation. First, did medical personnel continue the use of infected material, knowing it to be infected and liable to cause injury or death? If so, this places a large measure of responsibility on them. That is the domestic situation. It is, perhaps, this which the Minister intends to have investigated by referring the matter to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
