Roisin Shortall TD: 'We are all hoping that this legislation will result in a very significant increase in the number of transplants.'
The sending of babies' remains for incineration abroad without a family’s consent “could not happen again” under new legislation, the Oireachtas Health Committee heard on Wednesday.
