Time for someone in the HSE to learn how to say ‘mea culpa’

HSE claims relating to the ‘Grace’ foster abuse scandal are countered by the whistleblower at the centre of the saga

ON FEBRUARY 2, 2016, the HSE appeared before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to answer questions relating to the Grace case.

They had been called before a special sitting of the committee to explain why their hand-delivered submission to the PAC the previous week had insisted an apology was given to Grace, contrary to reports in this newspaper claiming that no such apology had been offered, only for the HSE to subsequently admit that no apology had in fact been given.
