Constitution

Name
The name of the organisation shall be Parents For Justice.

Aims and Objectives
The Aims of Parents for Justice are:

  1. To approach the Minister of Health in relation to organ retention and post mortem practices in Ireland.

  2. To bring to the attention of the Minister of Health and to the relevant officials in The Department of Health, the situation regarding the unauthorised removal and retention of organs, during post mortem, from children and adults in Ireland without the knowledge or consent of the parents or next of kin.

  3. To campaign for the establishment of an inquiry into the removal and
    retention of organs during post mortem without the knowledge or consent of parents or the next of kin;

  4. To halt the practice of removing and retaining organs during post mortem UNLESS full informed consent has been given by the parents or next of kin and to make hospital staff and health professionals aware of the importance of the need for information to be made available to parents and next of kin.

  5. To campaign for the introduction of new legislation in relation to organ
    retention and post mortem practices in Ireland. At this moment in time there is no legislation in place. And also to resolve to make contributions to any changes made for the benefit of the people of Ireland in relation to organ retention and post mortem practices. Parents for Justice would hope to be in a position to make worthwhile contributions to The Department of Health, The Coroners Review Board, The E.R.H.A. and any other hospital or health institution or to any health professional that it may deem to be appropriate in the future.

  6. To offer support in whatever way is possible by Parents for Justice to any parent or next of kin whose loved one maybe involved in the organ retention situation.

  7. To set up a help-line for parents and next of kin affected by organ retention and post mortem practices in Ireland.

  8. To seek funding from The Department of Health, through the Minister of Health, to continue the work of Parents for Justice in whatever way is deemed necessary by the committee, to the benefit of parents or next of kin whose loved ones have been affected by the removal and retention, without consent, of organs during post mortem in Ireland
