‘Grace officers should step aside amid probe’

Senior health sector officers involved in the ‘Grace’ case should step aside from their posts pending the outcome of the commission of inquiry, according to Fianna Fáil TD John McGuinness.

Mr McGuinness and John Deasy of Fine Gael were the two TDs that brought the vile abuse at a Waterford foster home to light at the Public Accounts Committee (PAC).

Both men have welcomed the publication of the Conor Dignam report into the controversy.
