Medical staff refuse to work with pathologist
A number of officials at Cork University Hospital, Our Lady’s Hospital in Navan, Co Meath, and Dublin City mortuary have taken the stance against Khalid Jabbar — one of two assistants to state pathologist, Prof Marie Cassidy.
The Department of Justice has declined to provide any details on the matter, while Dr Jabbar has told the department he has done nothing wrong. However, reports in the Mail on Sunday said the stand-off — which began months after he was appointed in 2010 to the near-€200,000 a year post — relates to his behaviour towards colleagues.
