Detectives search home of nurse in hospital overdosing allegations

INVESTIGATORS have removed items from the home of a nurse at the centre of allegations of overdosing patients at Naas General Hospital.

Plainclothes officers searched the house, located in a quiet suburban estate in Co Kildare as part of an ongoing investigation. It is believed they removed several items of potential evidence after the search last Tuesday.

The nurse was suspended from Naas General Hospital by the South-Western Area Health Board last month.
