FAMILIES affected by the organ retention scandal have criticised a doctor who admitted keeping organs of stillbirths without consent after 2000.

FAMILIES provide more than 3.5 million hours of support and work annually taking care of their loved ones, it was revealed yesterday as a competition was launched to find Ireland’s top carers.

FAMILIES of gardaí who died in the line of duty united yesterday to help each other and future survivors.

FAMILIES will have to re-mortgage their homes if third-level fees are reintroduced, the Consumers’ Association of Ireland has warned.
