‘Devastating and disturbing’
The State could be hit with more legal actions following the publication of a “deeply disturbing” report into the deaths of 196 children and young people in care which found some of the deaths may have been preventable.
Frances Fitzgerald, the children’s minister, said what the report of the Independent Child Death Review Group had uncovered was “a disgrace” and was clear evidence of the need for “an utterly reformed system of state care and intervention”.
