Top award for ‘Irish Examiner’ journalists at Justice Media Awards

Two Irish Examiner journalists have won a top prize at the annual Justice Media Awards.

Political editor, Daniel McConnell, and political reporter, Fiachra Ó Cionnaith, won the Justice Media Award in the daily newspapers category yesterday, for their investigation called Saving Grace.

Their series of reports exposed the story of a woman with severe intellectual disabilities who suffered sexual abuse in an Irish foster home between the late 1980s and 2009.
