Cabinet to discuss report on treatment of ‘Mary’

A report looking into how a teenage girl with intellectual disabilities was left in a foster home after sexual abuse allegations were made against a carer is due before cabinet today.

The review examined why ‘Mary’ remained in a foster home in the Cork region for 21 months after two other children in the home were removed for their safety.

Children’s Minister Katherine Zappone is expected to bring the report before cabinet.
