Troubled Leas Cross runs up losses of €1m

CONTROVERSIAL nursing home Leas Cross ran up losses of nearly €1 million last year.

As relatives of former Leas Cross residents were given advanced copies of an independent report to be made public today, into 105 deaths at the north Dublin home, newly-filed accounts reveal the massive costs incurred last year.

Owner John Aherne’s company had showed profits in early 2005, of €582,384 for the previous year.
