The ICGP Research Ethics Committee was granted formal recognition on 17th May 2005. It reviews both clinical and non-clinical trials.
Chairman: Prof Colin Bradley
Administrator: Ms. Pauline Tierney
Email: pauline.tierney@icgp.ie

The Research Ethics Committee has adopted the following two basic statements as a guide:
- 'Any study proposed which cannot answer the question posed is unethical.'
- 'All research on human beings carries the possibility of harm. The level of risk, which is acceptable, depends upon the importance of the question being addressed.'
The Ethics Committee is constituted according to the International Conference on Harmonisation/Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP) guidelines & the Clinical Trials Act 1987 (amended 1990). This Ethics Committee operates to the standards laid down in the ICH GCP guidelines published 1997 and implemented January 1998.
