HSE chiefs apologise for failing to protect 'house of horror' children

Health chiefs tonight apologised to six children tortured and sexually abused by their parents in the so-called Roscommon “house of horror” case.

The Health Service Executive (HSE) also admitted authorities failed to protect the young siblings forced to endure years of incest in a squalid three-bedroom bungalow, strewn with rubbish and dead rodents.
