Evidence to PAC on ‘Grace’ inaccurate

Evidence given to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) by senior HSE officials relating to the ‘Grace’ foster abuse case was inaccurate, whisteblowers connected with the scandal have said.

At committee hearings into the controversy earlier this year, it was claimed by the HSE that personnel connected with a decision to leave Grace in the home are no longer working in the public sector.

However, this claim has been sharply contradicted by the whistleblowers in fresh correspondence seen by the Irish Examiner.
