Medical Council to investigate doctor

A DOCTOR who investigated cases of sexual abuse will be at the centre of a Medical Council inquiry.

Following three complaints made by parents who were accused of child sexual abuse, the Medical Council is to establish an inquiry into the professional conduct of consultant psychiatrist Dr Helen M Cummiskey.

Dr Cummiskey has a practice in Donnybrook, Co Dublin, and is also a member of the Residential Institutions Redress Board.
