MARK Dodson insisted last night that there was no need for an independent external inquiry into the events leading up to the death of Scotland international Siobhan Cattigan, and said he had full confidence in Scotland coach Bryan Easson, who has been severely criticised by the player’s parents for alleged callousness in dealing with one of her injuries.
Neil and Morven Cattigan said in a Sunday Times interview two weeks ago that they blamed the governing body for their daughter's death late last year at the age of 26. They allege that she did not got proper treatment for brain injuries, which brought about a massive change in her personality akin to dementia - and in the end led her to “the point where she could no longer live with the pain in her head and Siobhan succumbed to an irrational thought and impulsive action”.
