Abuse survivor: State dragging its heels on EU ruling

Abuse survivor Louise O’Keeffe — who won a landmark case against the Government in the European courts — has again accused the State of dragging its heels over its response to her case.

“We are now eight months down the road from my European judgment and, effectively, nothing has changed,” she said.

“Europe found the State responsible for my case but they haven’t owned up to that responsibility yet — and that is what is needed.”
