Dáil PAC group may meet Grace source

A Dáil committee may meet the whistleblower who uncovered the Grace foster-home abuse scandal. She claimed that the HSE is using gaps in knowledge to “hoodwink” TDs and avoid publicly answering questions.

The public accounts committee will decide next week on the potential meeting, having received a letter from the whistleblower’s solicitor, amid concerns that information previously provided may fall outside the scope of the State investigation.

In the letter, the whistle-blower’s solicitor said there were concerns about evidence given by HSE director, Tony O’Brien, at previous meetings with the PAC.
