Dr Gabriel Scally
In 2018 Dr Scally was pointed by the Irish Government to conduct a preliminary inquiry into the cervical cancer controversy.
He also assisted the Hyponatraemia Inquiry into the deaths of five children in Northern Ireland hospitals as both an expert witness and as an advisor to the Chair, Justice O Hara.
During the course of 2020, Dr Scally says he had a strange feeling that all his working life as a public health doctor has been in preparation for this time. In the spring I could see clearly the serious errors mounting up and it made me very anxious and extremely fearful of what was coming, he said.
