Court to give inquiry files on child who died while in state care

The High Court has made orders allowing information contained in a 2001 court case involving a child who died while in state care to be handed over to an inquiry into such deaths.

The information in question will be given to the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs and will be considered by the independent review group, whose members are Norah Gibbons and Geoffrey Shannon, into the deaths of children while in state care.
