Man left with 22 staples in head

THE sister of a man living in an HSE-run facility for people with intellectual disability has expressed serious concern following an incident which left her brother with 22 staples in his head.

Marcella O’Sullivan’s brother Paul, 44, has lived at Grove House for about 20 years, but his sister maintains the care given to him is not what is should be.

On the grounds of St Mary’s Orthopaedic Hospital in Cork, Grove House is a secure unit for 30 intellectually disabled people.
