Fresh foster care concerns prompt calls for inquiry

The HSE and Tusla are to be called in for questioning after it emerged another young person was left in a foster home despite allegations of sexual abuse against a carer in the home.

Disabilities Minister Finian McGrath said he was “absolutely horrified” at the latest revelations involving a teenager in the Cork/Kerry area which follow on from the ‘Grace’ scandal in the South-East and a similar scandal in the West.

“I’m going to find out the exact facts of this case and I will be demanding answers. I’ll be talking to Tusla and the HSE,” Mr McGrath said.
