News Briefs Ireland: Report on Tainted BloodSeptember 9, 2002 After two years of hearings, an Irish high court investigation into how the government's blood bank infected 260 hemophiliacs with HIV and hepatitis C in the 1980's sharply criticized safety standards and the bank's failure to inform those it had infected until years later. But the head of the inquiry, Judge Alison Lindsay, declined to send the report to the public prosecutor, effectively ruling out criminal prosecution or further investigation into the US medical supply companies that provided the contaminated products. Of the 104 people infected with HIV and 217 infected with hepatitis C, 78 have died.
