Deasy calls for public probe into teen’s death

WATERFORD Fine Gael TD John Deasy last night called for a full public inquiry into the HSE’s handling of the case of Michelle Bray, the 14-year-old Dungarvan girl who died last Sunday apparently from solvent abuse.

Mr Deasy yesterday said that a supervision order had been made for Michelle in November 2004 but that the Health Service Executive didn’t put her into care.

He said he himself had raised the possibility in October 2005 that Michelle was at risk of dying or causing the death of others, but that the HSE never responded to two letters he sent.
