Varadkar: Footage of care centre abuse like a horror film

The Government has not ruled out an independent inquiry into shocking acts of cruelty and abuse against intellectually disabled residents in a Co Mayo care centre.

Health Minister Leo Varadkar said the footage which exposed the abuse at Áras Attracta was like watching a horror movie.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny said he would await the outcome of three inquiries into the abuse of residents there.
