Date set for hearing to decide costs in hepatitis C case
A date has been set for later this month to decide who will pay the legal costs for the former Principal Biochemist in the Blood Transfusion Service Board relating to the infection of women with hepatitis C.
Charges against Ms Cecily Cunningham (aged 66) of Hollybrook Road, Clontarf were dropped by the State last month at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
Judge Katherine Delahunt granted a defence application for a three-week adjournment and set a date in late February when a hearing will be held to determine who will pay the costs of the case.
The only other person charged in connection with the Hepatitis C saga was Dr Terry Walsh, formerly assistant national director with the BTSB but these proceedings collapsed on his death.
