A letter in today's edition of The Irish Times draws attention to the fact that judgment in a case involving five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor accused of having infected children with HIV in Libya is to be given next Tuesday. I and many other Senators have taken up this case. I would be grateful if the Leader would ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs to ensure it is closely monitored. It is an international case which has caused terrible concern that nurses working abroad appear to have been very badly treated.
