Organs taken without consent, says group
The group, which has demanded a statutory inquiry into the unauthorised removal of organs from the deceased, said the practice goes back decades.
“We have spoken to thousands of families since Parents for Justice was set up three and a half years ago. It is clear that anywhere in the State that a post-mortem was carried out in the last 30 years, organs were removed without consent. Not one family who contacted us told us otherwise,” said spokeswoman Fionnuala O’Reilly.
