Sandra McLellan told the Dáil she had met several individuals in her
East Cork constituency who were subjected to vaccine trials while in
mother and baby homes. The main concern for these individuals is the
lack of information around the drugs prescribed. In some cases there
have been residual effects. Understandably, this causes huge ongoing
distress.
Speaking during a debate on the setting up of the
Commission of Investigation into the homes, she said the Minister, James
Reilly, has told the Dáil that the Commission of Investigation will
have the power to compel the drug companies which conducted vaccine
trials on children resident in the homes to come before it.
