Summary
Ireland’s state pathologists are in crisis as hospitals cut autopsy services, forcing Dublin’s mortuary to handle double its workload. With key hospitals like the Mater, St. James’s, and Beaumont shutting down autopsies, pathologists rely on hospital goodwill—now increasingly scarce. Chief State Pathologist Dr. Linda Mulligan warns delays are mounting, compounded by the departure of one coroner without replacement, leaving three overwhelmed. The system’s strain threatens timely investigations into suspicious deaths and leaves grieving families without closure. Urgent, sustainable solutions are desperately needed.
