INVESTOR ALERT: Kirby McInerney LLP Commences Investigation on Behalf of Trinity Biotech plc Investors

The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP announced today an investigation on behalf of investors of Trinity Biotech plc ("Trinity" or the "Company") TRIB concerning possible violations of federal securities laws by the Company and/or certain of its officers and directors.

Trinity acquires, develops, manufactures and markets medical diagnostic products for the clinical laboratory and point-of-care (POC) segments of the diagnostic market.

The investigation concerns Trinity's October 4, 2016 announcement that the Company was withdrawing its 510(k) premarket notification submission for the Meritas Troponin-I Test and Meritas Point-of-Care Analyzer on the recommendation of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. On news of the withdrawal, Trinity's share price fell over 50% to close at just $6.46 per share on October 4, 2016, thereby injuring investors.
