Minister for Justice, Heather Humphreys TD, has launched the Office of the State Pathologist Annual Report for 2020 which provides a detailed account of the Office’s operations over the last year.
The core work conducted by the Office is providing independent expert advice on matters relating to forensic pathology and performing post mortem examinations in cases of criminal, suspicious or unusual deaths.
In addition to these duties, the Office performs post mortem examinations in non-suspicious deaths directed by the Dublin district Coroner, on a rotational basis, analyses skeletonised remains, and deals with referred cases from inside and outside of Ireland.
