HSE apologises for seven-year delay in report

In 2000, 22 former pupils of the Kilcornan Residential Centre, Clarinbridge and the Holy Family School, Renmore, were interviewed about 33 years of physical and sexual abuse.

However, five years after the investigation started, a separate report found the protection of students had not improved.

She recognised there were shortcomings and delays with the production of the report.
