Nurse manager jailed for assault of Áras Attracta resident

A clinical nurse manager has been jailed for his treatment of an Aras Attracta resident.

Pat McLoughlin, aged 56, of Lalibela, Mayfield, Claremorris, Co Mayo, was one of five Aras Attracta staff who were convicted of assaulting residents with intellectual disabilities in their care at Ballina Court yesterday, but McLoughlin was the only one to be handed down a prison sentence.

Covert CCTV footage showed the manager sitting on Ms A, a resident with severe intellectual disabilities.
