Andrews condemns FG move to publish teen’s death report

CHILDREN’S Minister Barry Andrews said the long delay in preparing a report into the death of a teenager in state care eight years ago was indefensible.

But the delay did not excuse Fine Gael’s decision to publish it ahead of the Government, he insisted.

“In publishing the report into the death, Alan Shatter and Fine Gael have steamrolled over the privacy of the children and family members of the deceased,” he said.
