We should not merely name and shame. The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions is an independent body and must examine the role of individuals responsible for cover ups to ensure they face trial, put their defence and take whatever consequences ensue. There is no defence for the deaths of 79 people as a result of the lack of State control of the Irish Blood Transfusion Service. This will be returned to in the future unless the Director of Public Prosecutions takes the required action now and puts those responsible on trial. Even if they can defend themselves, at least the families affected will see exactly what role they took in that regard.
