Dáil Éireann – Oral Question 7 – 10th May 2018 – Irish Air Corps Survivors

Mr. Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South-Central )

Question No. 7

Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence if the Chemical Exposure Report 1994-2005 will be released in order to provide former members of the Air Corps who are now chronically ill with information relating to the level of exposure they suffered in view of his recent call for candour and transparency in cases regarding the health of persons; and if he will make a statement on the matter

This relates to a matter that has been ongoing for a while. Given the current controversy around the checks for cervical cancer, there is a need for transparency in publishing reports that will help people suffering health consequences so they can manage future health needs.

Irish Prime Minister condemns Irish Army Air Corps chemical exposure survivors to death.

  • Thousands unnecessarily exposed
  • Scores dead
  • Scores sick
  • Taoiseach says best for courts to investigate
  • Courts don’t investigate, they adjudicate
  • Irish Air Corps appealing chemical list discovery to delay cases
  • 2 untimely deaths since Christmas as at 07/02/18
