Details of the legal strategy adopted by the Blood Transfusion
Service Board in the case of the late Mrs Brigid McCole are expected to be released within two weeks. A Government spokesman said last night that progress had been made in examining the relevant documentation. The Minister for Health, Mr Cowen, will brief Cabinet colleagues on the matter today.
Mrs McCole's family has consistently sought to establish the circumstances behind the BTSB's legal strategy.
Fianna Fail and the Progressive Democrats made a commitment during the election campaign to publish the legal documentation.
