flag Ireland may launch a 16-week inquiry into surgeon Michael Shine’s decades of abuse, following victim pressure and calls for accountability.

flag Ireland’s Cabinet may approve a 16-week scoping inquiry into former surgeon Michael Shine, convicted of sexually assaulting multiple boys and men during his time at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, as early as tomorrow. flag The inquiry, recommended by Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, aims to examine institutional failures, review the restricted Smith Review, and assess how abuse went unchecked for decades. flag A senior counsel is expected to be appointed before Christmas, with the goal of establishing a victim-centered process and determining whether a full statutory inquiry is needed. flag The move follows new victim disclosures and pressure from Dignity4Patients, representing over 350 survivors, who seek accountability and justice.
