Widow dismisses claims man was mistreated

CLAIMS that an elderly patient had been mistreated at a HSE psychiatric home in Ennis were yesterday dismissed by his widow.

Mrs Anne Finn said her late husband, Gerard Finn who died recently from Alzheimer’s got excellent treatment at Cappahard Lodge residence for psychiatric patients.

Mrs Finn, speaking on Joe Duffy’s Liveline radio show also complained that RTÉ news never contacted her earlier this week about a news item in which her stepdaughter, Mrs Lourda Flanagan, made allegations about Cappahard.
