Martin to meet Haemophilia Society over documents

Health Minister Micheal Martin is to meet the Irish Haemophilia Society later today.

He plans to discuss his decision to claim privilege on documents which the society wants provided to the Lindsay Tribunal.

Minister Martin insisted in the Dail that there had been no refusal by anybody in his department to disclose information to the tribunal, something which had been confirmed by its chairman.

He added that he is currently seeking legal advice on the issuing of the documents.
