Carried out by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, the report says a manager at the facility — which operates two centres where 160 people live — informed the delegation when it visited the services last year.

The matter has been investigated by gardaí and a file has been sent to the DPP.
