Grace files: Whistleblower hits out at HSE for not forcing staff to quit

The whistleblower at the centre of the Grace foster abuse scandal has accused the HSE of contradicting itself by not forcing officials involved in the case to step down.

She separately hit out at HSE head of operations for disability services, Dr Cathal Morgan, for saying he has yet to see any evidence of a cover-up, claiming HSE director general Tony O’Brien is already in possession of files on the issue.

Responding to the HSE’s decision to publish the 2012 Conal Devine and 2015 Resilience Ireland reports into the case, the whistleblower said she welcomed news that disciplinary reviews are now being launched.
