The enactment of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination and Public Display) Bill is a priority for the Government.

The Bill is a complex piece of legislation that will include provisions on organ donation and transplantation, hospital post-mortem practice and procedures, anatomical examination, and public display of bodies after death.

Drafting of the Bill is at an advanced stage and Government approval for publication will be sought as soon as possible during this session of the Dáil.
