A victim of disgraced surgeon Michael Shine is calling for a sealed review into the sexual abuse carried out by the prolific paedophile to be released to the public.
Last September, then taoiseach Simon Harris stated that then health minister Stephen Donnelly was engaging with the attorney general on the matter, but to date, findings from the report which were conducted by retired High Court judge TC Smyth in 2009, have not been published. The Government said it is still awaiting legal advice on releasing the report.
