Concerted cover-up over Grace, says whistleblower

The whistleblower who first highlighted the Grace foster abuse scandal has welcomed the fact a State inquiry is now set to occur into her belief that the case was covered up by health service officials.

The individual can’t be named due to strict protected disclosure rules.

She said she is pleased issues will now finally be investigated, as she echoed calls from politicians for senior HSE and Tusla managers involved in the case to step aside pending the state inquiry.
