Question 169: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if she will facilitate the publication of a redacted version of the review into allegations of abuse by a person (details supplied), which would black out any elements that might prejudice any pending legal actions; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I appointed the former High Court Judge, Mr. TC Smyth SC, to examine whether a further investigation into the case of Michael Shine, former Consultant at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda would be of benefit.

In line with the advice of both Judge Smyth and the Attorney General I regret that, in order to avoid any danger of prejudicing legal cases, it is not possible to publish the Judge's report or a redacted version of his report at this time.

However, I have said that I promise to examine whether it may be possible to publish a summary of the report as soon as possible.
