A recent report from University College Dublin reveals significant challenges in Ireland’s genetic testing services, including long wait times and inadequate expertise. Recommendations include creating a national testing directory and enhancing interconnectivity between laboratories. Personal stories, such as that of Róisín Costello, illustrate the emotional toll caused by errors in genetic testing. The report emphasizes the need for a centralized laboratory system to reduce costly duplicated tests and improve patient outcomes, as the Adelaide Health Foundation commits €1.5 million to enhance genetic services education and accessibility in the country.
