State Pathologist's Office

The State Pathologist's Office (Irish: Oifig an Phaiteolaí Stáit)[1] is a branch of the Department of Justice in the Republic of Ireland.

The office also provides advice to coroners on cases which are not the subject of a criminal investigation, but which nevertheless give rise to complex questions of forensic pathology.

The current Chief State Pathologist, Dr Linda Mulligan, was appointed in February 2021.

This marks the first time that all pathology positions in the State Pathologist's Office have been held by women.
