The Lindsay Tribunal was a public Tribunal of Inquiry into how people with haemophilia became infected with HIV and Hepatitis C through contaminated blood products.
Children were among those affected, including children infected and diagnosed at a very young age.
It dealt with some of the most sensitive medical information imaginable.
Yet identities could be protected and the Tribunal still sat in public for 196 days.
So please stop presenting this as a choice between protecting children and having transparency.
Protect the children’s identities. Protect their medical privacy. But do not use their privacy to shield institutions @CHI_Ireland, Ministers, including @SimonHarrisTD@CarrollJennifer@MichealMartinTD, or decision-makers from public scrutiny.

Harvey Morrison's death among six included in work of scoliosis inquiry
Families allege dozens of children suffered due to delayed surgeries
🚩[If you were lied to as Minister @SimonHarrisTD - why is the scope of your investigation only going back to 2019? Do you not want answers?]
*Harris is understood to have told the meeting he believes he was misled by CHI during the latter part of his tenure as health minister between May 2016 and June 2020, when he had pledged to eliminate spinal surgery waiting lists.
🚩[Didn’t Happen]
The government has agreed in principle to allow families and their advocacy groups to help shape the inquiry’s scope. Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, the health minister, is to appoint a facilitator to work with them in drafting the terms of reference.
Families whose children died while waiting for surgery, or from complications afterwards, have consistently stated that delays and failings in care were major contributing factors. Rather than being heard, many were dismissed as grieving parents searching for explanations,” said Una Keightley, a spokeswoman for the Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Paediatric Advocacy Group.
The crisis facing the government over CHI is continuing to escalate as the full scale of the issues inside the hospital group emerges.

Gardai look into fund abuse' by Children's Health Ireland consultant
The inquiry was triggered after the HSE referred to gardai a copy of an internal 2021 report, which found the consultant was paid €35,800 to run weekend clinics, funded by the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) in breach of guidelines.
The investigation adds to pressure on Lucy Nugent, the CHI's chief executive, the as health minister expressed confidence in her.
The National Economic Crime Bureau is now investigating possible offences involving the collection of NTPF fees relating to about 180 cases. The development raises serious questions for Lucy Nugent, the embattled chief executive of the CHI, who did not refer the report to gardai when she became aware of it.
The HSE passed the report to officers in June after learning of its existence following the publication of its findings in The Sunday Times.
The unpublished report outlined a litany of alleged wrongdoings, malpractice, cover-ups and disregard for the treatment of ill children. It also documented how surgical trainees were allegedly subjected to humiliation and children subjected to intolerable risks because of mismanaged services.
The HSE complaint said it believed the report had uncovered the potential misappropriation of public funds.

I don't think people realise how disgusting this is. It needs to be shared everwhere to bring attention to it. #justiceforharvey Resign @SimonHarrisTD and take accountability. And @CarrollJennifer
Keep it trending, Harvey [RIP] deserved better. All the children deserve better.
People need to be held to account for the failures at Children's Health Ireland.

In the name of God how can anybody with a conscience support Harris and McEntee who deliberately lied to the parents of a recently deceased child, just to save their own skins. Will the cowards in @fiannafailparty do the right and decent thing and demand that Harris resigns.
In an ideal world there should be 3 FG resignations this week. If FF had a proper leader,with a conscience and self-respect, and had politicians that weren't wimps ,then they'd insist that McEntee,Harris,and McNeill would resign. But FF will save them rather than help children.
The absolute irony of @CarrollJennifer saying they want to protect children’s privacy. So many of us have not had the luxury of privacy as the failures in care and the harm they have been caused has forced up to already speak publicly to get this abysmal government to even pay attention!
#JusticeForHarvey #ResignHarris #PublicInquiry
If we are not getting the only thing we asked for after Harvey’s death a proper Tribunal of Inquiry then we have no choice but to demand an end to the political career of the man who promised our children reform and failed to deliver it.
