Forensic Science Ireland chief ‘not impressed’ at building wait

The head of Forensic Science Ireland has said she is “not overly impressed” by the four-year wait for a much-promised new building.

Sheila Willis said the timetable needs to be brought forward given the poor state of her facility.

She said the workload of her office and her staff would “increase exponentially” with the DNA database, which went live last November after being first promised eight years ago.
