Irish baby scandal: forced vaccine trials. [View all]


JUNIOR Health Minister Kathleen Lynch has called for controversial vaccine trials carried out in mother and baby homes to form part of any forthcoming Government's inquiry into Catholic Church-run institutions.

Ms Lynch, who campaigned for children forced to take part in vaccine trials while in State care, said she "hit a brick wall" after a Supreme Court ruling blocked a previous government investigation.

And she said the new inquiry would be a "waste of time" if it did not investigate the infamous vaccine trials.

The minister told the Sunday Independent: "What I'll be asking is that whatever investigation that takes place that this should be looked at as well."
