Father of baby whose organs were incinerated pleads with politicians to pass bill 

Laura and Fintan Kelleher, who live in Australia, are among 18 families whose babies’ organs were sent to Belgium from Cork University Maternity Hospital for incineration in 2020, without their permission or knowledge.

The father of one of the 18 babies whose organs were sent abroad for incineration is asking politicians to pass the Human Tissue Bill that has been approved by the Cabinet.

Health Minister Stephen Donnelly brought the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination and Public Display) Bill to the Cabinet on Tuesday morning for approval. It will now proceed through different stages in the Oireachtas.
