‘Grace’ report to be delayed again

The report into allegations of sex abuse against an intellectually disabled girl at a Waterford foster home will now not be handed into Government until the end of August.

The report is to be basis of a pending Commission of Inquiry into the foster home, and is to lay out suggested terms of reference.

The allegations refer to a girl — who has come to be known as Grace — who was in the home until 2009, almost 14 years after allegations of abuse against children were raised.
