Ombudsman suspends audit of child abuse cases
Ombudsman Emily Logan announced her decision to suspend the audit four months after it began, after claiming her office had not been provided with the relevant documentation it requested from the HSE.
Ms Logan said she could not rule out other options open to her if the row cannot be resolved, including bringing a special report on the matter before the Oireachtas or launching legal action compelling the HSE to release the documents.
