Leo Varadkar: ‘Grace’ allegations remain unproven

The health minister has warned that allegations about Grace’s abuse remain unproved.

Leo Varadkar, speaking in the Dáil during statements about the decision to hold a commission of investigation into abuse at the Waterford foster home, said that it is important to remember that no prosecutions have yet been brought.

“It is important to remember, no matter how horrific, these do remain allegations. There have been Garda investigations but yet no prosecutions and no convictions to date,” he said.
