Listening to the Tánaiste one wonders if this is a legal rather than a medical issue. I accept what she says, that the tribunal rejected the claim of a person who subsequently went to court, where a different ruling was obtained. I wonder if we are going about this the wrong way. Should the legal aspect of this draconian measure be examined? It is amazing that a court would take a different line from a tribunal. One would imagine that a person making a claim would have to prove that he or she has hepatitis C and contracted it through infected blood products, showing the State to be negligent. However, the Tánaiste said the courts overruled that and did not take it into account.
